And if they are the kind of VBS that has an altar call during the closing service, then they are absolutely encouraging the children to be part of the religious practice!

Why hide your light under a bushel of bears, I ask you?
I don't know any other RC that has claimed that no one will be denied communion in the Catholic church nor do I know anyone who would state that the RC has an open table for communion...that's why I'm asking you to support these claims and not some one else.
Funny story: When DH and I got engaged, my mother wanted us to get married in the Catholic church. I tried to explain that that was all well and good, but that we wouldn't be allowed. She asked "Why not?" and I explained that it will probably become apparent in pre-Cana that DH is atheist and I'm LDS. Her response was "Well, can't you just fake it?"
Later, the same conversation came up again, but this time my dad was present. My mother asked me "Are you sure you won't get married in the Catholic church?", to which my dad piped up with "Wait, aren't there requirements for that - like being Catholic?"

>> plenty of non catholics and/or catholics who feel not worthy at that time walk up for a blessing. <<
A blessing is not AT ALL the same thing as actually receiving the bread and cup.

>> NO ONE will be denied and there are no questions asked <<
Bord posted an example of someone who was denied and of whom questions were asked.

I just about died laughing. I love my dad.
