I think the conversion is likely a childish rebellion to stick it to her family. If this was my sibling, about to use my kid’s funeral to pull an attention grabbing stunt, I would hire security to bar her from entering the church. Not today, the day of my child’s funeral to act out like this.[/quote]

OP here. I owe you nothing about why I'm converting. You know nothing about my desire to. But spoiler alert, it has nothing to do with "sticking it to my family." What a weird take.

And you seem SO confident I'm going to get up on the altar and talk about myself that you'd probably bet on it.

Well, let me know when you do so I can make a counter bet. You are the odd one, friend..[/quote]

NP.  You are conducting yourself very oddly for someone who has a close relative with a dead toddler.  It's almost enough for us to suspect trolling.[/quote]

Does that mean she should be forced to take communion? Let’s stick to the subject. [/quote]

It’s a small sacrifice given the loss her family is enduring. It’s a bit of unleavened bread. But if’s curious that suddenly it’s a big issue when OP says she hasn’t been practicing for years. [/quote]

I guess you don’t understand what it is like to be someone who actually takes religion seriously. Catholic communion is not something you do to be polite, like using the right fork. It’s a big deal. [/quote]

I’m pretty sure everyone would understand. Unless you think God is vengeful and petty.[/quote]

You think forcing a Jew to take Communion is OK? Seriously? Are you listening to yourself? (Not OP btw). Yes God would understand. No, unless you literally fancy yourself the Grand Inquisitor, do you have the right to force that on someone. [/quote]

Nobody is forcing anything. OP of her own free will would stand with open hands. Or not. Does she want to force the issue at this funeral? Maybe OP should just sit it out if she can’t be respectful.[/quote]

I mean, this is offensive to Catholics too. Taking communion is a serious sacrament - it is not something non-Catholics do to be respectful. OP did not say she intended to be disrespectful. She accepted the advice to take the blessing discreetly. [/quote]
