[quote=Anonymous][quote] 2. When regular parishioners do not go to communion, everyone knows it means they have sinned and not gone to confession to have their sins absolved.  [/quote]

I guess all the nuns in my parish have committed mortal sins then!

Except on Christmas and Easter, when you can go to communion during the vigil and during the day, Catholics can only go to communion once a day.Believe it or not, many Catholics in my parish go to church more than once on Sunday, for a variety of reasons. Examples: Some churches have the same choir sing at multiple masses.People who go to the "family mass," often helping with the kids, playing guitar, leading songs, etc., who also go to an evening mass because they want to hear an adult homily. One of the ushers in my parish feels that he can't really "focus" on mass with all the things he has to do, so he goes to a second mass at which he doesn't usher. In some parishes, there are too few volunteers, so one person might agree to usher, lector, or otherwise help at two masses.

Some people are gluten intolerant. These people usually take communion in the form of wine. They either go to a parish where this is always an option or make special arrangments. If they are traveling and attend a different parish, they won't take communion if there's not a wine option.

Nobody assumes anything if you don't take communion.[/quote]
