[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife and I are Gay and attend an Episcopal Church.
A very close friend of ours is having her DS baptized at a Catholic Church and we have been invited as well as our DS.
I want to go and be a part of this for my friend but at the same time I struggle with feeling unwelcome by attending a Catholic Church where I feel that our relationship is frowned upon and I know we cannot take communion, even though we do in our own Church.
Tell me something to make me feel better about going.[/quote]

You should be required to go to this church, the same as I'm required to sell you a wedding cake.

It's a little different -- they've been invited to a Catholic church as friends.   You're bakery is open to the public.[/quote]
Aren't places of worship "open to the public"?[/quote]

Yes, but in a Catholic church, non-catholics are not welcomed to come to communion.  They tell you that in advance, so you will know not to approach the altar.

Of course, you can sneak to communion if the preist doesn't know you're not Cathoic or doesn't know that you are a Catholic who is not in a state of grace.    It's sort of like how a bakery could get tricked into agreeing to bake a cake for a gay wedding.  [/quote]
