I understand that however your moral code is just that,
your moral code.
As a parent you can only hope / strive to have your children reflect the good morals that you try to instil in them - but there are no guarantees.
From my own experience I have found that basing ones moral code on their faith is a very dangerous, and potentially faith challenging, thing.

I see you're right about the South Wales chapter sticking to the doctrine.
Here in NI the catholic, indeed all, God shops have become more lax in their attitudes towards mass / church attendance - due in no small part to the seismic shift away from conventional religions / faiths.
No bad thing in my opinion. If someone "wants" to go to church then good on them but I agree that they shouldn't feel forced or obliged to attend with the threat of eternal damnation if they don't.
