[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have kids who you'd like to receive the sacraments there eventually? God forbid there were a tragedy, would you want a loved one's funeral there? If so, I would up your contributions.[/quote]

Surely the church would not refuse to hold a funeral or let families  enroll kids in Sunday school to train to receive the sacrament of holy communion because weekly donations were low.  I understand that the church is like any other enterprise in that it needs money to survive, but it's primary business in saving souls and should welcome anyone who followed its practices[/quote] I have never been in a parish that conditioned sacraments on contributions. I think we have a Catholic hater posting bs on this thread.[/quote]

I'm the PP and I am actually RC and I did not mean it that way at all.  I meant that if you intend to be more than a casual member, you really should not donate such a nominal amount when you could afford more.   I don't think any parish would turn away someone in need.  But I also don't think you should expect to have baptisms, First Communions, weddings and funerals at the church when you are not a supporting member.  You are aware that synagogues have membership fees, right?[/quote]
