I get the feeling these parents aren't going to Mass elsewhere; they aren't going at all.

Yes they are. In our town they drop the kids off at Religious Ed and head off to the Church of Starbucks.

Funny!

On a serious note, call me old fashioned, but if the parents were really serious about giving their kids a Catholic education, unless there isn't a Catholic school in town, shouldn't the kids be in Catholic school fulltime instead of taking CCD classes? Just askin'.
