While this is true, it is also true that banning them will not keep them Catholic.

If one is not orthodox, one is not Catholic.

And it will not encourage them to raise their children Catholic.

It is unlikely that a heretic would raise Catholics in the first place.

It's interesting that about 40% of "Catholic" women don't raise their children Catholic, while women like my mother who have a horror of such innovations as altar girls have raised devoutly Catholic families.

The Catholic Church is not now, nor has it ever been, about marketing.

It is about the truth.

You have some very good comments on this thread. I find it quite interesting as some segments struggle to change and evolve in a direction they want to go while others strive to defend what they consider unnegotiable truth. This same scenario is played out on numerous stages.
