In Closing...
In summary, most children have problems today because they are not being raised by their parents at all. They are actually being raised by the Godless public schools, social media, friends, movies, television, YouTube, rock-stars, fake news, magazines, books, etc.
These corrupting forces convince kids that happiness lies in Godless beliefs and actions, and, once that happens, children are mostly lost from that point on—even if it is not immediately evident.
Although the parenting tips above may seem daunting if you are not already doing them, I can guarantee that they get results and become easier as you go along. And, honestly, you have no chance of success if you just let the world raise your children like everybody else is doing.
One more thing: Please know that I am praying for your success in your child-raising endeavors regardless of whether I ever meet you or not. If you ever feel like you are alone, remember that countless others have gone before us and were successful! Looking back on my own time as a parent, I can honestly say that every single sacrifice was worth it. Yours will be too!
May God bless your child-raising ministry.
Sincerely,
TAC

Thank you — so much wisdom (Wisdom), well said.
God bless you for the raw, straight to the point truths! I was laughing when reading about the religion programs because you sounded so much like my husband… I wanted to enrol our daughter into one of these programs for pre-teens and my husband happened to be at a church meeting where one of the volunteers said that it’s good to go to protestant church sometimes and that she herself goes because likes the music!?
In India we’ve lost loads of catholics to the Protestants who’ve lured them. FYI
That’s sad but unfortunately way too common among Catholic Christian populations across the world. Lord have mercy and lead them home
What do you think they are attracted to in Protestant churches? Is there anything we can learn from that? I wonder if there is more community, etc?
I once asked a Phillipino man why he no longer practised his Catholic faith and went instead to the local bible church. He said, ” Because it’s easier. Being a Catholic is too hard.” Many find the Catholic faith too difficult to practise if done properly. He chose the wider path instead of the narrow path.
Good question. There are two reasons that I have seen:
1. Like the other poster stated, many people prefer “cheap grace” and are not willing to walk the “narrow road” Jesus said we have to walk (and which the Catholic Church has always promoted). I have met many in America (where I live) just like that.
2. Many, many parishes are avoiding controversial subjects in the Gospel and Bible while looking busy doing religious things that really don’t matter, or worse – promoting a “woke” Gospel at odds with what Jesus taught. When a protestant church teaches what the Bible says (the Bible we gave them!) and emphasizes Jesus with an emotional appeal, it’s far more powerful than a Catholic Church which emphasizes Mary and the Pope with a boring homily. Of course many of the protestant teachings are baloney and they misinterpret key sections of the Bible, but the part of the Gospel people DO get at the protestant church is attractive because they are not getting it in the Catholic parish that they left. That’s our fault, and this is a call for dead Catholic parishes to rethink their mission and what they emphasize in their domain. Back to the basics!
That’s so true. I have experienced it. It’s such a shame our Catholic priests themselves are cowardly in helping us to attack the work of the devil. They say what people want to hear or worse are silent. I wonder sometimes on why I bother but my faith in God keeps me going. I only wish I could have put into action all the words of wisdom shared here in bringing up my own children. My question now is how to bring them back and away from on this corrupt world. Praying ..
Thoroughly good stuff! I wish I had been brought up like that!❤️
Catholicism is not a worldview among others, it’s just THE safest and fastest way God established to reach Him in Heaven and on earth through the Eucharist, where He is physically present in Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. It’s a relationship with a Person, Jesus.
That’s why your “program” should include as many Masses as possible during the week and Eucharistic Adoration (there are many guides that can help you).
Frequent communion goes hand in hand with frequent REAL sacramental confession.
Insurance against divorce, drugs, fights: family daily Rosary.
Consecrate your family to the Hearts of the Holy Family and Archangels and make sure they all wear the brown Scapular and pray every day to their guardian angel.
I hope my articles help your tough job. I’ve been there!

With your prayers and God’s help, I’ll soon post a detailed parental guide.
Excellent! Congratulatuos from Argentina. I would have liked to ready this article before!
Wonderful work! May God bless you, your family, and the families of everyone who has read this invaluable guidance.
Thank you very much. I can share it with Indonesian Catholics. We are living in a most crowded Muslim country. It is a blessing to read your writings. God bless you.
Thanks for posting I have reposted to all my social media 🙏😇⛪⏳🍷
So much truth and insights ,,and common sense,which is a part of God’s wisdom. The first and best guide I’ve come across, apart from scripture. Thank you from Singapore…this is a long overdue and much needed guide which I will circulate to all parents with kids from 1 to 18 years of age. and any who may need this guide. God bless abundantly for your zeal in producing this wonderful teachings, please may you carry on your endeavour to help parents…we are in a Godless world..
Interesting points. I don’t disagree with most of it. However cutting out everyone in our lives who isn’t a Christian would lead to a very lonely and hard life in the UK. Plus how would I evangelise?
Thank you for your thoughts. The recommendation to remove un-Christian friends is mainly for children, who easily succumb to peer pressure and childish (and un-Christian) ideas. It’s impossible to avoid Godless influences once you take a job outside the home or deal with the general public on a regular basis, but adults who are “set” in their morality/thinking (or just old and ornery!) can evangelize the world without being instantly corrupted by it. Some people think their Christian children can evangelize other children, too, but the only one who ever changes is the Christian kid. The recipient of the successful evangelization seems to always need either humility, God’s prompting, or the capacity to reason as an adult, which I’ve never seen in kids who weren’t already Christian.
Hello!
I’ve read your whole article – it might surprise you to learn that many bits of parenting advice you give are the same ones that I would give as an atheist. (I do hope you keep reading).
Especially keeping children away from the poison of modern media and within a household that both loves them and challenges them strongly.
However, your messages around education are where your philosophy falls short. I think that you should have more faith in your children’s ability to do what is right – to be good people and remain catholic while also being exposed to some of the bad things in school because,
Education doesn’t just allow your children to get a fulfilling job (money isn’t the point of life) but it also allows them to understand Gods creation in a much deeper way and it’s unfair to deprive them of that. Not all knowledge comes from the bible and in my view Christians deserve the privilege of a full understanding of the world! Don’t cut yourself off from society.
I respect that you think people who are catholic are happier – honestly I look around and I see a *lot* of unhappy atheists (for exactly the reasons you describe). But I think sheltering children from all of the outside world (and worse getting them to fear it) may have the opposite effect. From the outside it looks as if you doubt the power of their faith! It would only take a little bit of outside influence to make them see it that way too.
If you want to build up a genuine resistance to godlessness then I recommend limited exposure – let them see what the world is like but through the lense of your guidance – and if you’re right they will see what you see.
It feels unhealthy and fearful to isolate your child from all outside influences and they will see it that way too!
Outside influences can be terrible – but they have to learn to live in the real world one day and that means exposure.
I’d love to hear your response, and even though I think isolating your children in the way you describe is overly manipulative and fearful, I also think that you’ve identified some genuine problems in todays society and it’s clear you love your kids.
Nope, Your comment is Godless and LeftWing typical Communist Evil cannot be Trusted
and Ignore your team trash promote some disgrace, that makes our Faith Strong
No one Trust your Hate
We speading Gospel in Christ treat non-christian with Understand what good and bad fruit
Christianity has 2,63 Billion (Mid-2024)
i happy with that more than Atheism 147 Million (2020) >>> 146 Million (2024)
Atheism is Suffer and dying out, not increasing population
it was offical population
You need realized it, with this Proapganda Atheist covered with thinking that Atheism is Biggest population?
it’s just Chair/Votes to make claim without Evidence to rate it Fact and True?, that is doesn’t work on your Atheist Logics
Hello person who removes comments 🙂
You know: I am glad about one thing.
And that is that you’re aware of how religion is dying out from the world – hopefully in a few generations nobody will be subjected to catholic parents.
I do sincerely hope you can have an awakening at some point.
Zach, you have uncovered the purpose of your first message by your second message, atheism has been around for millennia and is now shrinking. The reason your numbers are in the millions are world population is greater. True happiness is found in Jesus and in the Church he left us when followed correctly . In your heart of hearts deep down you know where your ideas lead but have difficulty leaving them. I pray one day you will “ repent and believe the gospel “ as Jesus says for in that is true happiness, even the devils believe it’s the repent part they have difficulty with. Please reconsider before your time runs out.
All I can say is that I brought my sons up praying, opening our hearts and minds to scripture, catholic school and catholic friends, good discipline with consequences, being loved and told they are loved, placing kindness above being the best and in all the ways you talk about (not home schooled) . My sons have grown up to be kind adults living moral lives but despite all of this they have turned away from their faith, as have most of the adult children of the members of the two prayer groups I attend.
I find it interesting that young people are joining the Latin Mass movement. Hopefully this will help in future generations.
Thank you for sharing, it helps alot
My two adult children (33 , 31) don’t attend mass anymore, but I love the CATHOLIC church and take my mother as much as I can. I pray often for their souls and try to be a good role model. It is very sad. Looking back, I didn’t do the things recommended by this article. Maybe things will change in the future, but Wokeism is difficult to fight for me.
This essay is EXCELLENT. THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! I already shared the link to my staff, friends and children. Very worth reading it. God bless you too.
Thank you for the admirable teachings in preserving the faith in our young ones. While I agree with some of your teachings, I entirely do not believe the college education disrupts the faith. If a child has spent his/her childhood imbibing the faith, the faith doesn’t fade by pursuing advanced learning in the college. In fact, we have numerous Doctors of the faith and Saints in the Church who excelled in their faith through advanced education and used the higher learning of education to evangelize and preserve our faith.
Secondly, while it is important to understand why our Christian faith and the teachings of the Church is fundamental against the ugliness promoted in our world, it is worthy of note to bring up children who are tolerant of other faiths. Tolerance guides us against fanaticism. We can be steadfast in our belief and be open in sharing our faith without looking down on those who have other belief systems.
I am glad you took the time to comment; thank you for that. I actually greatly encourage learning after high school, especially in matters of Faith and the occupational fields that require it. My particular warning is about MODERN “higher education” and what the College/University culture is producing in young people. The doctors/saints you mention probably did not attend a college which told them they might be a woman in a man’s body or that abortion is a sacrament that produces equality for women, so I’m not sure you make an apples-to-apples comparison. I have heard good things about some Catholic colleges (like Franciscan in Steubenville) so I am not disparaging those, of course. I actually took a mini-course from Hillsdale and was impressed with that, too. But those are exceptions. Most colleges that I have ever heard about are, morally speaking, just places where (to quote Bill Maher) kids “go to lose their virginity.”
Here today the Gods Wisdom have spoken to me direclty and I am so happy to have read it so fast . Now I am thinking to share it to my friends and family. Thank you and God bless you
