And yes you are still welcome in the church despite not taking communion

Can you please show me the exact Biblical scripture where it states that communion should be refused to anyone? Please show me Jesus' exact wording for this. This is man's law not the law of God!

For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet.

Now there is an entire other debate about what constitutes ‘unworthily’, but again, Catholic Church, Catholic rules. There is no Catholic who cannot take advantage of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and then be permitted to worthily accept communion once again. There are some requirements, though. You must be truly sorry for your sins and you must have a firm intention not to commit them again. I believe Someone said something about “go and sin no more”.

The Catholic Church is full of ways to obtain redemption, those who do not believe you should need this through the Church shouldn’t be Catholic. Pick another denomination that bypasses this step. Determine your own worthiness. Personally, I suspect I’m kind of biased about that, so I welcome objective input.

Love,
