Kids are bounced from parent to parent, and bounce in and out of religious education. But all these Catholics want to come to Communion when they come to church-adultery, living together, whatever. Just like the Protestant church down the street. Consider the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We have it once a month now.
Nobody comes in the whole parish except three people in their seventies.
First Confession is last confession for most of the students, an empty ritual. Just like the Protestant Church down the street. Catholics used to be morally counter-cultural. They had their rules and they followed them. They knew the commandments, the precepts of the Church.
