In my column of April 16 I simply wanted to make a point about the sacredness of the day for Christians, particularly the hours of 12 to 3. The reply that to make an exception for Christians would require making exceptions for Jews, Muslims and others actually underscored my point. Now I want to make another point, but from a similar perspective. Sports are generally considered good for kids.
Church is good for kids.
Surely, prime time for church for families continues to be Sunday morning. I know, I know. There are Saturday evening Masses and Sunday evening Masses, and I am sure many Protestant bodies have divine services at varying times, as well. This is the constant erosion, the constant secularization of our culture, that I strongly believe to be a serious mistake. I played an awful lot of baseball as a kid and broke a wrist playing soccer.
