[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not Catholic, but was a [b]Christian witness[/b] to my nephew's baptism.  It was during mass, [b]so I went to mass (yuck)[/b].  Had baptism been after mass, I would not have gone.  In OP's situation, I think it's totally fine to not go, if you're not Catholic.[/quote]

How Christian of you.[/quote]

More Christian than denying the Eucharist to non-Catholics.[/quote]

What is wrong with denying the Eucharist to non-Catholics?  Non-Catholics do not believe what Catholics believe about the Eucharist - that through transubstantiation, the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ.  [b]At best, Protestants believe it to be a "remembrance" of what happened at the Last Supper.  [/b]

This is blatantly false.  [i]Some [/i]Protestants consider a memorial.  My church does not - it's a sacrament.  Please don't spread lies about us.[/quote]

I thought only Catholics believed in transubstantiation.[/quote]

They do.  But many other churches believe in the Real Presence, which is [b]not [/b]a memorialist view.  The gifts are consecrated and we believe Christ is present, we just don't believe the bread and wine physically change.  Lutherans, Anglicans, and Methodists all believe this.  Maybe Presbyterians.  But it's not a memorial.

Where, exactly, is Christ present? standing next to you? over you? next to the officiant?  and what do you mean "it's not a memorial"?[/quote]

Why would I answer a question that's specifically intended to make fun?  I gave you to the term, if yoiu were really curious, you'd go do your own homework.[/quote]
