"Catholics believe that a living mortal can deny another mortal either their salvation or access to salvation."

Catholics believe that we each have to accept the consequences of our own choices. To permit the unworthy to receive communion would only compound the sin.

I'm a Methodist who was fortunate enough to get that teaching before the church went liberal.

I have read the catechism and it says the not only is the Catholic church ‘necessary for salvation’ it also says that taking the sacraments is ‘necessary for salvation.’ That is wrong.

That is not what the Bible says is necessary for salvation. Repentance is necessary for salvation. Faith in Jesus is necessary for salvation. I will believe in the what the Bible says and not what an organization/church says in its belief manual.

On the topic of should the Catholic Church withhold communion....Sure, I think they should hold their members to what they say they believe. I just don’t accept alot of what the Catholic church teaches.
