It is common practice for the priest to remind the people in the pews that only "catholics in good standing" are welcome at the communion rail. I've heard it frequently at funerals and weddings where they have reason to think lapsed Catholics and clueless protestants will try to take a helping of the transubstantiated body and blood of Christ, not caring about or realizing what a great transgression it is to the faithful.

I'm sorry, but what? It's the Lord's table, not yours, not the priests, not the Roman Catholic Church's.

Did you not know this about Catholic communion?

I know it, and disregard it. Communion is the birthright of the baptized believer.

To your beliefs it is, but that is not correct for everyone.

Well, of course not. Others can let their consciences dictate their choices, just as I do.

It's a fine old book that has survived for centuries and has had a huge influence on people where it has been taught, but it's not an ultimate rule book -- nothing is.

You're really going to claim the Bible is full of errors in order to deny Protestants communion? Iive heard everything now.

Protestants can do whatever they want -- and have been for centuries -- breaking off into many different denominations and now nondenominational.

Yawn. Go pray to Mary or something.

Yes -- she'll "intercede" for you. It helps to have friends in high places!

If you really wanted to help out with scripture, you would have quoted it instead of just giving chapter and verse. Unless you assume that people who disregard scripture also have it memorized.
