[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having a different opinion and perception of something is not really "misinformation".  The facts as you and other posters have stated are correct - it's a sacrament.  The opinion and perception that excluding non Catholics from Communion comes across as rude is subjective.  I understand that it stings to be accused of being rude and exclusionary.  Nonetheless, that is how I feel about this stance and I know I am not alone in this feeling, based on what others have said to me even during Church ceremonies, such as full Catholic mass weddings.  The Church can have all the reasons it cites and more.  Being told in a house of God not to come to the table will always be perceived by some as rude.

Most major religions have some sort of requirements and/or some type of educational process that one must fulfill in order to enjoy the full privileges of the faith (confirmation, communion, a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, etc.).  But, according to you, they should all just drop those things and let anyone off the street come in and have the same privileges as those who have worked and studied for years to have them and to fully understand and appreciate the principles and meaning behind them. And, if they don't do so, they are all just "rude," right?  Yeah, makes total sense.         [/quote]

Episcopalians have an educational process but in most of their churches, all are welcomed at the communion table.  Is there something in sabbath services non bar/bat mitzvah'ed Jews can't partake in? [/quote]
