But if it weren't for any of those reasons, wouldn't they be insulted?


I do have one specific communion denial story, and it really boils down to

You know the meaning of "closed" don't you? One meaning is restricted, not available to the general public. That would fit the definition of a Roman Catholic eucharistic celebration. It IS restricted to certain people and not available to the general public, and therefore, closed.

That is not rocket science. It is basic English.

People are denied communion by Roman Catholic priests all the time. To say otherwise is just ignoring objective reality. Doesn't make it wrong; each religion is entitled to its own traditions. But to claim that no one is ever denied communion is just silly.

Probably fifty masses in about thirty five different churches. I went to mass five times last weekend.

I'm just telling you what the book says the priests are supposed to do.

Color me really confused here. The Catholic Eucharist consecrates the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ. If the nonbelievers are participating in Catholic communion, that is exactly what they are doing...Because, as far as I know, the communion wafer does not have an on and off switch.

Well, I grew up Catholic. I converted to the LDS church in graduate school. (Just so nobody is confused, LOL)

I believe in the concepts of right and wrong, and I believe that there are better and worst interpretations of Christ's will for the church. And yeah, I believe that an open table comes closer to a Biblical understanding of Christianity. If I believed that the Roman Catholic interpretation of Christ's teachings was "better, then I would have become a Catholic by now.

I respect a whole lot about the church; saying that I think things are wrong isn't being disrespectful. If Martin Luther hadn't thought things were being done the wrong way, there never would have been a Protestant Reformation.

You are right. I like my lifestyle and that is what matters. The terminology personal hell seemed like quite the condemnation of my lifestyle. Many of you have described it as common conversational term, so I will accept it as that. Heather
