[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. My gosh, y'all.. so many of y'all [b]acting like I got up on the altar[/b] and oroclai how I don't believe in the Catholic faith anymore, so therefore I cannot take communion.

It seems as though all those who have criticized me by saying I'm selfish and unhinged and everything else negative, cannot seem to comprehend that I can be supportive of my family while also staying true to my own personal beliefs. Why does it have to be one or the other??

Also, since most people don't read anymore, there was no scene or big deal of any kind, because, well.. I'm not actually a monster..[/quote]

The point is: why did you get up at all?  You could have remained in the pew and nobody would have questioned this because as a previous post explained, there are legitimate reasons why practicing Catholics would do that.  Instead, you got up in the communion line, crossed your arm to show that you were not taking communion, and...received a blessing from the priest?  Why get up at all?  You aren't Catholic, so you weren't up there because the priest's blessing meant anything to you.  You just HAD to get up and self-importantly walk through the communion line, probably sneaking side glances to see who noticed you had crossed your arm to avoid taking the wafer.

You should have stayed in the pew.
