[QUOTE="markss, post: 74394, member: 8368"] I do respect your point of view while at the same time take exception to it. No a pilgrim is not a different animal. There are no such "pilgrim" exceptions made in Catholic doctrine. While all may share a spirituality and other admirable qualities, these are not full criterea for invitation to receiving communion in the Roman Catholic Church. A specific communion of Catholic beliefs and Baptism into the Church, not just Christian or spiritual beliefs is one overriding requirement. There are others; such as being in a state of grace - that is having confessed and been absolved of serious sin prior to communion. A period of fasting is generally required prior to communion, although that may vary by region. ALL of these criterea are required. The actions of that one priest you describe runs contrary to every other priest I've ever heard address the matter in many years of Catholic education and practice. At some Catholic churches an announcement is made prior to communion that specifically states that non-catholics are not invited to receive communion because we are not a communion of faith, however thay are invited to come foreward for a blessing. In fact such an announcement was made at the pilgrim Mass that I attended in Roncesvalles. Some of the published Mass books in Churches also include written instruction to this effect. I understand that Catholics are invited to communion in non-Catholic churches. The Catholic Church does not recipricate. If a non-Catholic has a strong desire to receive communion in the Catholic Church, why not look into converting to the Catholic faith. The process of doing so would aid in the understanding of what communion means to Catholics. Is it so difficult to respect what Catholics deem not a right but instead a priveledge reserved only for those who are members of the Catholic faith? [/QUOTE]
