Because it is NOT announced in the RCC (at least IME). RC's (IMO and speaking for myself) KNOW that if you do not have your communion, you can not get bread and wine.

Wouldn't you think a communion would be one of those events when family and friends are attending the mass?
Are you RC? Have you ever attended a RC mass? It is QUITE obvious who is and who is NOT RC and not once is there an "announcement" about taking the communion.

I know this wasn't asked of me, but the way I interpret it is that EVERYONE is called to the supper - not everyone has answered that call (by becoming eligible church members).

but did you not,too refer to the RCC eucharist celebration as a closed table?

i'm sorry PKA but it really is not.


there is no evidence to support that outside just opinion which IRL,doesn't make it true.

Again, and for the last time....
RC's are FULLY aware that there is a "closed table" MEANING that you can NOT receive the bread and wine UNLESS you have received your communion.
I have been to masses where there would possibly be others who are NOT RC (baptism's, communions, weddings) and never ONCE was there an "announcement" of a "closed-table" or anything to that "idea".

It is "closed" in the sense that if you haven't had your communion you can not have the bread and wine. NO ONE will be denied and there are no questions asked so if you go and get it and you are not supposed to, that is between you and god.

Well, then your priest isn't doing his job. Here's what the General Instruction of the Roman Catholic Missal, Paragraph 84 (2003) says:

"Care should be taken lest out of ignorance non-Catholics or even non-Christians come forward for Holy Communion, without taking into account the Church's Magisterium in matters pertaining to doctrine and discipline. It is the duty of Pastors at an opportune moment to inform those present of the authenticity and the discipline that are strictly to be observed."

My experience is that it is announced and explained to the non-member by the people with whom they are attending the mass before the mass begins.

Probably somebody who chooses a church with an open table has an opinion that says that it is Christ's table, and all who wish to partake are welcome to come. That means that they think that a closed table is wrong and doesn't really represent the spirit of Christ as well as an open table. They might not be insulted by the churches that choose to have some form of a closed table, but they still might think they were wrong.
