hey, if u don't believe in Jesus Mom.. no wafer for ya :lol:

Being able to receive Communion in the Catholic Church is not a factor of whether or not you believe in Jesus.

What? It is considered the body and blood of Christ, why would you take it if you don't believe? :huh:

You missed my point. The point was.... there's more to receiving Communion than belief in Jesus. Otherwise, almost any Christian denomination could receive Communion in the Catholic Church.

8-30-05 Met David at a restaurant in Germany

3-28-06 David 'officially' proposed

4-26-06 I-129F mailed

9-25-06 Interview: APPROVED!

10-16-06 Flt to US, POE Detroit

11-5-06 Married

7-2-07 Green card received

9-12-08 Filed for divorce

12-5-08 Court hearing - divorce final

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

What exactly was your point? :huh: You made a statement which I don't understand and I'm asking for clarification. There is definitly alot more to taking communion than believing in Jesus, but again if you don't believe in Jesus why would you take communion and accepting as the body and blood of Christ?

Catholics believe in transubstantiation, that the wine and bread turn into the actual blood and body of Christ. Other Christians view communion as more symbolic. All knowing Wikipedia explains it better than I can: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transubstantiation. In short though, as a Protestant, I refrain from taking communion when I go to Catholic mass because I don't in fact believe in the body and blood part, although I obviously believe in Jesus. I am not sure about other Protestant denominations, but in my church, as long as you believe in Jesus you may take communion.

Since always, that's canon law since the dawn of the Protestant religion.

Er, confirmation has nothing to do with communion....completely separate sacraments.

On the topic of taking Communion, Catholics believe that one must be prepared for the sacrament in order to take it. In order to receive the body and blood of Christ one must have attended confession first-you are not supposed to be taking communion with sins on your soul. Protestants don't believe that confession is necessary; they can confess directly to God themselves without an intermediary while Catholics must confess to their priest who dictates what they need to do to be forgiven. This is only one of the crucial differences between the two similar religions; along with transubstantiation (ritual cannibalism...yay!) and the belief on that these are the reasons Protestants cannot receive Catholic communion without it being a sin.

wow... to many damn rules for sure!!!

why do people have to make religion so dayum complicated? so that only the uppler class can feel themselves worthy? these rules seem to indicate a means of limiting those who want to take comunion...

:unsure:

oh, and please point out that you must complete confirmation classes before your first confession, so that you can take your first communion

so good to know that forgiveness is so readily available...

Confirmation classes are taken before confirmation, not communion. Yes, you are prepared for your first confession, but not by confirmation classes. Confirmation classes prepare you to confirm as an adult member of a church, it's the reaffirmation of baptism; there are communion classes which prepare you for communion. They. are. not. related.

Yes, Catholicism is bound up in a lot of rules and ritual-that's part of the reason the Protestant religion came about! They went from seven sacraments to two (cut out a LOT of rules there) and cut out the tenet that only a member of the clergy may read and interpret the bible or take confession. That's not all of the changes, but they're some of the mighty ones.

Why would the act of having to confess or belief in transubstantiation before communion limit the class of those who can take it? Everyone can confess, and transubstantiation is taught as catechism-everyone learns it. The rules are the same from village parish to city cathedral, so it's pretty much across-the-board, the teaching of it wasn't limited. These things are taught to everyone who follows, not just the upper class.
