Liberal Catholic father of four

I had a very nice poolside conversation with a father of a bunch of children, all older than mine. I asked him how his kids turned out faith-wise. He said it's intact. But, the exterior is a little rough, and you might not be able to tell. One of the boys is in to hip hop. The father warned him about the lyrics and the subculture, but what can you tell a young man. His other boy was intent on having a more diverse experience than an all-white suburban high school, so sought out a public school with as he put it "gays and lesbians and color". We both sympathized with the desire for diversity, but, well, not so narrowly put.
