[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Practicing Catholic here. The correct thing to do is not receive communion. Catholics are not at all offended by people not receiving- and it’s actually wrong/offensive to receive if you don’t believe. There is nothing wrong with staying respectfully in the pew or crossing your arms over your chest to indicate you will not be receiving. No one should have a problem with that.[/quote]

I am so confused. What was wrong with what I said? OP even says she didn’t know going up w arms crossed was an option.

I understand the context of why OP is concerned but what I’m saying is that a good Catholic shouldn’t be even taking note of who is and isn’t receiving communion. That is an incredibly sacred time of prayer and OP shouldn’t be worried about being judged…like I’ve literally never heard anyone as a practicing Catholic gossip or judge along the lines of “so and so didn’t receive today.” Even practicing Catholics have to abstain sometimes bc they haven’t made it to confession or forgot to fast. All I was trying to do was tell OP that I think she doesn’t need to stress here and she can focus on just grieving this tragic loss of a child. [/quote]
