[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Catholic husband hasn't been to mass since before we married, though we attend regularly elsewhere and would be considered devout/observant by most. The biggest reason is the protection of pedophiles from the church, but also because I'm not Catholic. I've been feeling increasingly guilty about this, since I know they prefer Catholics not marry Protestants because we tend to do exactly what happened - drag them away. I know he's a big boy and can make his own decisions, but let's be honest, he'd probably still be attending mass if it weren't for me. Any advice on getting over it?[/quote]

Everything seems fine. So what if he goes to a different christian church for mass.

Is he bringing this up? Doesn’t sound like it.

Why are you bringing this up? [/quote]

Episcopalians don’t have mass. Only Catholics and the Orthodox have the mass. It is something to be worried about since, for the husband and only the husband, this is a matter of grave mortal sin for him.[/quote]

Stop telling others what they believe. Anglicans of all flavors most certainly have mass. [/quote]

They may have “mass” (as in numbers or bodily weight, but they categorically do not have “Mass,” as in the Eucharistic sacrifice because their ministers lack both the capacity and the requisite intention to confect the Eucharist. [/quote]

In the Lutheran Church we have both the Mass and the Eucharist.  We are part of one holy catholic and apostolic church.

You can believe whatever you want, but the Catholic Church does not have a monopoly on the apostolic succession or the Real Presence.[/quote]

This. And how arrogant to claim so![/quote]
