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]

It is not a bit of unleavened bread.  To a believer, it is the literal body of Christ.  You may not believe in that, but many Catholics have died to protect it.  It isn’t something you disrespect because your mom is pushy.[/quote]

To a non believer it isn’t. But as OP is a baptized Catholic, she will always be Catholic in the eyes of the Church. Most Catholics aren’t as staunch adherents as you’re making them out to be and often take Communion when they shouldn’t.[/quote]

Not OP and she has an additional reason not to take it. “taking communion to make people happy” is not a thing embraced by Catholicism. [/quote]

As a parent, my thoughts are much more with the parents of the little girl. I would do whatever necessary to not burden my sister and her family on this day. I guess others feel differently. [/quote]
