[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who says you have to go to church to be Catholic?[/quote] Well - the precepts of the Catholic Church basically! Code of Canon Law # 1247 states: “On Sundays and other holydays of obligation, the faithful are obliged to participate in the Mass. They are also to abstain from such work or business that would inhibit the worship to be given to God, the joy proper to the Lord’s Day, or the due relaxation of the mind and body.” [/quote] If you don't go to mass, you are not "in good standing" but you are still Catholic. All you need to do is confess your sins and you will be back in good standing again and can receive communion -- even if you haven't attended church for years. Only ex-communication can make you non-catholic and that it the Church's decision not the individual's. Catholics can give up Catholicism and join other churches or leave religion altogether, but they are still are the rolls of the Catholic Church.[/quote]
