eucharist and attendence

I actually know of a case where this happened, so it's not like I'm pulling this outta my @$$.

So I agree that it's a false dichotomy.. by the person who's putting themsef in that situation. What about for the person that must advise this illogical person?

If you can't do that, then that's that. I don't blame you, I just don't see why you can't pick one. If all you want to say is "go to confession" or "don't recieve", then you're basically allowing them to decide for themself. Maybe what you'll say will change them, but they've indicated that it won't so. It seems that given the situation, you could at least say what I quote in the first sentence here, but also give a which is worse scenario.

That person must advise as we have advised. The only reason a person can't understand our words is by not wanting to...everyone is capable of understanding what we are saying.

Fact: You are trying to force us to tell a person to sin. We will not do that, for if we do, then we have sinned.


Sorry...ain't gonna happen.

We are pretty sure it is my mom's fault.

I've abstained from Communion, too. I've also walked down to the Church to find the priest (it was just after a Mass got out) and specifically asked for him to hear my Confession.

It's scary sometimes, but it's well worth it. In my humble opinion, you can still be forgiven if you wait and go to Confession at an "opportune" time, but if you're truly sorry, you'll want to go ASAP.
