[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 915728, member: 12570"] Over, I understand your point but have to disagree with you. One of the roles of a parent is to instill the faith and values that they possess in to their children. Whether these values include religion depends upon the parents. Both my ex and I were raised in Catholic households and as such raised our children in the Catholic faith. We gave them the choice when they turned 16 as to what direction they wanted to take with their faith--both decided to stop going to church. The ironic part is my daughter married in to a Lutheran family, was married in a Lutheran ceremony and faithfully attends and actively participates in a Lutheran church. I have attended a Lutheran mass with them and I have to tell you I would probably be more active in the church if I were a member of a Lutheran church. They follow the same basic doctrine but are more of a partner rather than a dictator that their Catholic counterparts. The mass was nearly 1.5 hours long but seemed to fly by as the congregation was an active participant rather than an obedient bystander. [/QUOTE]
