I think she means that people do not like that various academics and others often use public school kids in their study of various methods and curricula, and that she has heard people say that they don't want their kids being used as "lab rats."

I don't want my kids used as human subjects without my permission, but I have allowed their participation in various studies over the years, and I am pretty sure that they participated in others I was unaware of. In fact, one of my kids went to the university lab preschool for a semester. Heaven only knows how often he was observed and written up by aspiring teachers.

Is THAT what she means? That the service is open but the reception of the eucharist is closed?

No one has argued that anyone cannot go to a mass and receive a blessing. But that isn't what is meant by open table and closed table eucharist.

The masses that I referred to were all Roman Catholic rite, yes. Not all were at RCCs. For instance, last weekend I went to several Roman Catholic masses that were held on a college campus at an interfaith chapel. But the priests and the rite were Roman Catholic.

<<"Closed" to taking the bread and wine but not "closed" to getting a blessing or just going to the mass>>

I must have totally missed this because I never ever saw anyone claim that the Catholic church prohibits non-Catholics from merely attending a mass. Of course anyone can attend!

Sorry but I am done. Maybe you can ask another RC, like crusader who has said the SAME thing as I did but everyone has ignored her-why is that, may I ask?

She has not said that the Roman Catholic Church does not have a closed table. She has said that she had never heard the terms before, and that she and her priest ignore the restrictions that might prohibit her from taking communion, and that she is OK with that.

Don't you find it odd that NO RC here has ever HEARD the word "closed" used, only the non-RC's??!!

Interesting you state this as you have gotten opinions from RC's on here who have NEVER heard it said or used up to 40 + years going to mass :0
