[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, since you and your husband don't practice, do you plan on skipping communion?  Are you going to confession before?  If not, then you will need to explain all that to your kids as everyone traipses over you in the pew for communion.[/quote]

OP here.

We always skip communion, every Christmas and other masses we go to. Our children know.

Maybe one day we will be in a space where we can do this, maybe not.[b] It does not take away from the spirituality of the moment[/b], although I understand if you don't agree with that.

Your laziness takes away from the Holiness of the moment. Too bad your children are the victims. At least you're not going up there and fraudulently receiving the Body and Blood, so good for that.[/quote]

Ignore this very rude and un-Christian poster, OP.  I'm the PP that said "Please don't just come for the show --- or if you do, pay like you're going to the Kennedy Center."  I was mostly just joking, and in response to the poster that implied that the church should put on a good show, for his benefit, which I found a little offensive and tiresome.  I think 99.9% of Catholics, including priests, believe that the church is a space for all, including those with doubts and those that are maybe not perfect in their practice.  Someone famous (a bishop?) once said "If I only sat down with saints, I'd eat every meal alone."  Similarly, if the church doors were closed to everyone except "perfect" Catholic, the pews would be very empty indeed (and probably filled only with crying newborn babies).  [/quote]
