[QUOTE="Smallest_Sparrow, post: 438444, member: 14189"] I think actually, Pope Francis (gentle and compassionate) did not say she could, but refrained from telling her she couldn't. And not everyone who participates at Mass (where all are welcome) can receive Communion (including some--?many?--Catholics). If you believe/accept all the teachings of the Catholic Church, from the leadership of the Pope to the Transubstatiation, have been baptized into the Catholic faith, already had your first Communion, and are free from mortal sin (know what that is?), then OK. Otherwise please respect the beliefs of others. Maybe some Protestant churches are ok with non-members receiving Communion. This is not a Protestant service, nor a case of tit-for-tat. You are not being cheated out of anything. This is a very important Catholic sacrament, not a sello, sticker, or other SWAG, or a chance to express your non-Catholic spirituality. Catholics believe you are accepting the actual Body and Blood of Christ--put yourself in their shoes for a minute to see how "well, I'll do it if I want to, but I don't believe in that nonsense about the Body and Blood..." feels. Yes, they truly believe that It IS Christ. not a symbol. Sooo... Take off your shoes in a mosque, put on a hat in the synagogue, leave Catholic Communion to the Catholics. That honors both Catholic beliefs, and those of non-Catholics. [/QUOTE]
