[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's not an Opus Dei church it will be fine.  Our child's Catholic baptism did not even include a mass with communion so it may be just a baptism.  Like someone else said, everyone there except the infant is probably a sinner in the eyes of the church.  I don't know a single Catholic who follows all of the teachings of the church or even tries to for that matter.[/quote]

It's practically impossible to follow all the rules of the Catholic Church and live in a modern society.  People just pick and choose the parts of Catholicism make them feel good or don't interfere in their lives and most priests don't care (or don't want to know).  For many people  the church is a  habit or tradition that they pass down to their children like any other family tradition.  THey don't have to think much about the underlying meaning.[/quote]

This is where we are now that we have this Cafeteria Catholic anti-Pope.

I'm afraid OP will be "OK" in Gaithersburg most likely. They're fairly shallow there.

There is much more holiness in Diocese of Arlington parishes, save for certain mission (pseudo)-parishes like the so called "Our Lady Queen of Peace". They think they're free to welcome any and all because they don't use regular Diocesan priests. But if you really are so comfortable with your lifestyle choices, why would you be scared to show up in an Opus Dei church. Wouldn't your good friend Lucifer stand with you!?  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: [/quote]

Are you suggesting that Lucifer is present in non opus dei Catholic churches?[/quote]

Of course not. I'm saying this "couple" turns away from God by their choice to "couple". Thus, they turn toward darkness, i.e. The Devil. But when they go into the church all proud of themselves for their "enlightened" choices, the Devil, aka Satan, aka Lucifer, will be nowhere to be found.[/quote]

Are you "proud of yourself" for being straight and chossing to marry someone of the opposite sex?  Probably you were just doing what comes naturally -- just like this same-sex couple is.[/quote]
