[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You've got to be a troll.

Since you weren't receiving communion anyway, all you need to do is show up, go through the motions, and not receive communion.

This is what I do when I go to Catholic services with my European maternal family, who is Catholic.

My father and my in-laws are Asian Buddhists (different denominations). I've attend funeral services for my FIL, BIL and purification rituals and such like, and I go through the motions politely like the civilized person I am.

I'm not understand the problem here.

OP here. Gosh, my eyes couldn't be rolling harder than after reading your troll accusation. As if I wasn't already upset over the death of my toddler niece, you come in here with your rudeness.

My parents are very devout and often use the fact that I am no longer Catholic against me and guilt trip me a lot.

I know they will use this tragic event as a reason to harass me.

But beside that, above all, I don't want to upset my sister.

So I am asking for suggestions on how to communicate the fact that I won't be taking communion.

But thanks for your unhelpful response.[/quote]

I wouldn’t communicate it to anyone but the priest as you decline it.  That’s priming them for a fight.  See if you can be a few people behind them (3-4) so they are walking back to their seat instead of watching you.[/quote]
