I haven't read the article.  Don't feel I have to.  I have a pretty good
idea from personal experience.

It's ironic.  The main reason we moved over in 1991 from St. Peter's Church
to here was because our kids were in the public system, having started
there for French immersion and with the approval of some of the younger
Paulists.

The "CIC" having at that time two very lively and active youth groups, a
senior and a junior, that our kids much enjoyed until the time came for
them to go off to university, Val to McGill and Tony to Waterloo.

Now not one of our three go to Mass anymore.

We have 5 grandchildren, not one of them baptized.
