Wow, I'd like to know more about how that went down...My father is also a pastor of a Baptist church...and I can't see him EVER attending mass...he'd be asking his congegration (ug sp!) to pray for me every sunday if I converted.

Never. I wouldn't be caught dead at a Protestant service.

God bless the Code of 1917.

Why not?

Why would you? It is not the most precious Body and Blood of Lord that we partake of in the Most Blessed Sacrament. To receive it wouldn't be much more than a symbol of unity with that congregation, which we do not belong to. In light of what we have at Mass, it seems to me that it would be disrespectful of Christ. (I'm not 100% positive about this, but I've always been taught not to receive communion at Protestant services)

Because the Church says not to. Catholice are not allowed to receive communion at Protestant services and vice versa. The Pope even came out with an encyclical addressing this (and other things concerning the Eucharist).

Only very rarely, for weddings.

Non-Catholic churches always feel so weird, having no tabernacle. It's like sitting in a restaurant with tables and waiters and such, but no one ever serves any food.
