I think the conversion is likely a childish rebellion to stick it to her family. If this was my sibling, about to use my kid’s funeral to pull an attention grabbing stunt, I would hire security to bar her from entering the church. Not today, the day of my child’s funeral to act out like this.[/quote]

OP here. I owe you nothing about why I'm converting. You know nothing about my desire to. But spoiler alert, it has nothing to do with "sticking it to my family." What a weird take.

And you seem SO confident I'm going to get up on the altar and talk about myself that you'd probably bet on it.

Well, let me know when you do so I can make a counter bet. You are the odd one, friend..[/quote]

NP.  You are conducting yourself very oddly for someone who has a close relative with a dead toddler.  It's almost enough for us to suspect trolling.[/quote]

Does that mean she should be forced to take communion? Let’s stick to the subject. [/quote]

It’s a small sacrifice given the loss her family is enduring. It’s a bit of unleavened bread. But if’s curious that suddenly it’s a big issue when OP says she hasn’t been practicing for years. [/quote]

I guess you don’t understand what it is like to be someone who actually takes religion seriously. Catholic communion is not something you do to be polite, like using the right fork. It’s a big deal. [/quote]

I’m pretty sure everyone would understand. Unless you think God is vengeful and petty.[/quote]

You think forcing a Jew to take Communion is OK? Seriously? Are you listening to yourself? (Not OP btw). Yes God would understand. No, unless you literally fancy yourself the Grand Inquisitor, do you have the right to force that on someone. [/quote]

OP isn’t a Jew. [/quote]

OP is in the middle of converting to Judaism AND actual Catholic rules would not permit her to take communion. [/quote]

There will be no communion police at the funeral and no priest would care.  [/quote]

Any decent priest would care a great deal about protection of the sacrament he was ordained to confect. [/quote]

That assumes the priest knows, which doesn’t apply in thie case.[/quote]

Nice try, but “caring” implies knowing and the implication of the quoted post is that the priest would not care despite knowing. [/quote]

By what authority do you speak for priests?[/quote]

By what authority do you question the more than two-millennia teaching of the Church as expressed in, among other places, the Catechism and the Code of Canon Law?[/quote]

Been to Mass lately? Almost everyone is taking Communion. Nobody is sitting out based on the ancient rules. Everyone knows this. You're completely out of touch.[/quote]

DP. This is a bizarre take. The Church is made of “ancient rules”. That is kind of the whole point. Just because you are uneducated about your own faith doesn’t mean everyone else is. [/quote]

And? If you were familiar with norms these days this wouldn't be bizarre to you. You're obviously not Catholic or a parishioner anywhere.[/quote]

Catholic masses are long. At least let people get a little snack and some wine.[/quote]
