The real issue for me is the keeping of the children from the teaching of the gospel in order to try to force the parents to be better Catholics.

You somehow disassociate attending Mass from "teaching of the Gospel."

Don't you believe parents have a responsibility to raise up their children with good habits and faith?

Has your Church ever confirmed anyone who never attends services?

No, I was talking about letting the children come to the savior,,in formal classes. Both are important.

I do indeed.

Not that I know of. But that is talking about parents, not children. The children would not be confirmed if they didn't believe. If they don't go, it would be in question.
