In my opinion, it would be better not to bring unruly kids at the church. They distract the church goers’ full attention for the mass, as I do sometimes. I have experienced going to the church of Born Again Christians and after the singing , all children will go to what they call Sunday school, so there’s not much distraction. I find that so nice and how I wish the Catholics could adapt that , to avoid unruly kids at the church.

In many Catholic churches (at least, many of the around where I live), there is already a youth church separate from the adult church. Generally, it's for the childrens' benefit rather than the adults' benefit, though. I know at mine, there generally isn't a big problem with the children being distracting, but if it were to happen an adult could request the child be moved to the other service downstairs.

Really? We don't have that yet in our place. It's nice if we could already have one too. At least the children are taught about the bible etc. during their Sunday school. Isn't it that way, as my nephew told me so?
