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]

OP isn’t a Jew. [/quote]

OP is in the middle of converting to Judaism AND actual Catholic rules would not permit her to take communion. [/quote]

So, not a Jew. Got it. And these rules are not as cut and dry as you pretending.[/quote]

Keep digging that hole. [/quote]

Is that you OP? Still pretending to be a lapsed Catholic?[/quote]

No I am not OP. I just happen to have family that would conceivably try to pull something similar. OP has gotten the advice she needed about how to be discreet. Now everyone is piling onto her because of some misguided (and wholly misinformed) view about Catholicism.

I’ll leave you with this - trying to pressure a Jew to take communion is a very bad look! [/quote]

Interesting that this is where you draw the line, and it’s not a bad look to be a selfish ass at a child’s funeral by making an issue of taking or not taking Communion. OP isn’t content to just cross her arms to get a blessing and claims she never even knew that existed. Really? Which is complete BS because it’s what every child does until First Communion. Which just makes it more obvoius OP is trolling.[/quote]

I think the people insisting a JEW take communion (or any one at all) are the a-holes in this scenario. [/quote]

So if you identify as a Jew you are a Jew? What would your rabbi say to that?[/quote]

Do you think this is a convincing line of argument? Because it is not. At all. [/quote]

OP has not converted. So what does that make her?[/quote]

Well is definitely makes her someone that the *Church* would say should not take communion. [/quote]

And what if she did? You know nothing bad actually happens, right? [/quote]
