And as I have explained a few times about the communions going on, there is no announcement for those either and not everyone in attendance is RC.

As far as I can tell, she thinks either thinks it is an open table because all Catholics in a state or grace are able to take communion, or else she thinks it is an open table because nobody will arrest you if you try to take communion unworthily, or else she doesn't believe that there is any such thing as either an open or closed table and I am just making it up. Any one of these three alternatives might actually be it, or perhaps none of the above. I am very confused.

Why are all the RCs you know so eager to get their "obligation" over with quickly? Are the masses you go to unpleasant or boring or something?

In *your* experience, which is not the experience across the board. Others (here and elsewhere) have experienced Catholic masses in which the invitation to the Eucharist was extended, explicitly, only to those who meet the church's requirements.

"Closed" to taking the bread and wine but not "closed" to getting a blessing or just going to the mass (this is what egd has tried to explain).

"But to claim that no one is ever denied communion is just silly."

Please post where I ever said this.

Well, my experience has been different. In my experience, whenever you go somewhere where there is a eucharistic service, and a lot of non-Catholics are present, the priest will explain why reception is only for Catholics.

I was at the International Medieval Congress last week and there were a bunch of religious there from the Roman Catholic and various orthodox traditions, as well as Episcopalian and Lutheran masses and services. I like to go and observe different rites, so I went to many. A lot of the people there were there as non-members, and in most cases, the order of worship usually had a statement about who was and was not welcome to come. Of course, that has not been your experience, and I understand that.

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

These masses were at RCC's?

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

Exactly ;)
