Not bad advice (and I am a Lutheran who married a Catholic).
Trouble is that Catholic is more of an ethnic identity than a religion for many. My wife’s cousin is married to my best friend, and “a good Catholic”. She goes to church a few times a year, and can’t even define the Trinity on a work a day level. Much less the Incarnation.
Just saying perhaps the definition should be narrowed some what.
I think that Patrick already narrowed the definition considerably:
“My advice to Catholic parents is, teach your children well the importance of finding a devoutly Catholic spouse.”
Someone who can't even manage to make it to Mass weekly doesn't even begin to approach the most minimal standard of “devout Catholic.” Someone who can offer little or nothing when asked to describe or define the Trinity or the Incarnation is a Catholic who never paid attention, not exactly a "devout Catholic.”
I think that once truly devout Catholic parents (and children!) hear the advice offered by Patrick, they'll understand quickly what's being said.
