Mary,
I was wondering if you homeschool your children to satisfy your church's "religious education" requirements? I have just run into an issue at our new parish where we are being told exactly which book we must use, and that we are not permitted to homeschool during sacramental formation years. If you do homeschool for religious ed., have you run into any problems, and how have you solved them?
