[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus told the Apostles to "do this in memory of me" at the Last Supper.  You are reenacting a meal, the Last Supper.  You are calling the attendees to your table to partake of food and drink (now the body and blood).  Except you tell some of your guests, "Except if you are not a Catholic,  you aren't invited to partake".

Sorry but to me it's rude and others have expressed the same feeling. [/quote]

For the hundredth time,[b] it is not a meal, it is a sacrament[/b]! Get your facts straight!

+This.  And if you are not Catholic, you do not understand this.  To you, it is just a meal.  To us, it is not. And it is fair to criticize, where that criticism is informed.  In the case of the PP who finds it rude that non-Catholic Christians are not encouraged to participate in the Eucharist, I would say her criticism is uninformed and she would do well to put away her pride and approach the subject prayerfully and with an open heart and she will find the understanding she seeks.  I have attempted above to carry out a corporal work of mercy to explain the "reasons" non-Catholic Christians should not take communion, and been brushed off with the Lebowskian "well, that's like your opinon, man!" But you see, that is the problem today, we all think that all opinions are equally valid and that we are entitled to them.  In point of fact, opinions can be and are often wrong, that's why they are opinons.  Now, if you have a solid argument it is rude to discourage non-Catholic Christians from taking the Eucharist, I am all ears.  [/quote]

+100.  It will fall on deaf ears I'm sure, but thanks for trying to set some people straight on this issue.   [/quote]
