Ugh! My Cafeteria Catholic Dilemma - Teaching my kids Catholicism [View All]

[bleedingheart]

My parish did away with CCD.

Parents are supposed to teach their kids about the sacraments of reconciliation and eucharist at home.

Seems fine right?

Not really, most of the parents in our parish hate this. Many of us are cafeteria Catholics and realize that it would be better for someone else to teach our kids about the sacraments and all the important religious things they need to know.

I got my daughter through the reconciliation part, but I am really feeling odd about teaching my daughter at home.

I am a lifelong Catholic, but as an adult, I know that I am not perfect and that there are many things I don't agree with...however I feel really odd doing this at home and my protestant husband gets all wigged out about some of the rituals that are encouraged.

It makes me nuts.

Sorry to blather on about this...but I just felt the need to share my angst.
