My BFF is Catholic though (she encourages me in the Word and in my faith more than anybody I've ever met!), and I can think of one EXTREMELY difficult time in my life in which her priest was the one who gave me the advice that helped me out of it all.

There are times when Catholics may receive Eucharist with Lutherans and Episcopalians because our beliefs are so alike.

...Excellent post. Many pressing questions answered.<br />My grrrls do not, in fact, believe in Santa Claus. However, because they were so distraught and tearful after they got that newsflash when they sobbed and asked, "But there's an Easter Bunny, isn't there?", I said, "Well, of course there is, silly gooses." Would very much appreciate it if we could keep that under wraps. They're 21 and 16. I think there's still plenty of time for them to learn the ways of the world:>)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15238905633085051322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-25106241403177293342009-05-14T14:48:00.000-07:002009-05-14T14:48:00.000-07:00I usually ask for St. Joseph's intercession with a...I usually ask for St. Joseph's intercession with all job-related questions. <br /><br />As for taking Communion at a Protestant Church - my (Catholic) cousin and her (Protestant) boyfriend are getting married this summer at a Protestant Church that neither of them attends - they just like the location; I have no idea whether it even corresponds to her fiance's denomination. I'm afraid it will cause conflict and offense if I don't take Communion (if the ceremony even involves it), even though I don't see why either of them would feel that strongly about reception at this particular church. Do I just have to steel myself for the inevitable family conflict?Scarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425024886500147127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-7564060574629861742009-05-14T14:26:00.000-07:002009-05-14T14:26:00.000-07:00Well, Sister, I'm a "straight" married femaile, an...Well, Sister, I'm a "straight" married femaile, and presumedly you are too (with a really cool Spouse, I might add), but otherwise I'd be in love with you.
