I have seen you mention this more than once....can you claify what you mean here?
<< I did not have a mass but a ceremony and I have been to masses but don't remember ever hearing anything said but DO remember the priest saying to the audience that you can consider this "mass" and you don't have to go again that weekend. The RC's were all happy about this-lol!! >>
People tell me all the time that they would hate my job. I don't care. The fact that not many people want to do this work means that it's not that hard for me to find jobs, and I'm grateful for that.

Why hide your light under a bushel of bears, I ask you?
Ok, I understand. There are some goofball educational experiments out there and always have been. Back in my day it was the invented spelling of ITA which infuriated my parents. These days it's Everyday math or the concept of "spiraling".
Closed table means that participation in communion is conditional. Open table means that participation in communion is unconditional.
Question: True or False? - According to the Catechism, anyone may unconditionally receive Eucharistic communion.
Answer: False
Support: Catechism of the Catholic Church
1400 Ecclesial communities derived from the Reformation and separated from the Catholic Church, "have not preserved the proper reality of the Eucharistic mystery in its fullness, especially because of the absence of the sacrament of Holy Orders."239 It is for this reason that, for the Catholic Church, Eucharistic intercommunion with these communities is not possible. However these ecclesial communities, "when they commemorate the Lord's death and resurrection in the Holy Supper . . . profess that it signifies life in communion with Christ and await his coming in glory."240
1401 When, in the Ordinary's judgment, a grave necessity arises, Catholic ministers may give the sacraments of Eucharist, Penance, and Anointing of the Sick to other Christians not in full communion with the Catholic Church, who ask for them of their own will, provided they give evidence of holding the Catholic faith regarding these sacraments and possess the required dispositions.241
1415 Anyone who desires to receive Christ in Eucharistic communion must be in the state of grace. Anyone aware of having sinned mortally must not receive communion without having received absolution in the sacrament of penance.

Because attending mass every week lets Catholics in on the truth ~ that priests do not announce there's some silly closed table concept.

See the previous posts, you stated that it was an open table, now you say it's closed...why?

Well that's just silly. You're a Catholic, so your can't be an Episcapalian minister, though I'm pretty sure they are actually called priests.
Say, how about you become a Catholic minister?

Not to mention pre-Cana and receiving the sacrament of marriage.
And the classes and preparation DH and I had to take and the studying done so that my children could be Baptized.
