Communion is between a man and his God, not between a man and his church.

[Sacajaweau]

I agree with you totally.

[BlessedBeGod]

Communion is between a man and his God, not between a man and his church.

Yep, and here's what the Word of God says, which is exactly what the Church says:

1 Corinthians 11:27

27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.

[Jeff Chandler]

Communion is between a man and his God, not between a man and his church.

Is that you, Francis?

[GOP Poet]

I like this. Communion for me is one of the most holy miracles in my weekly life and I am Catholic and about ready to go through a divorce. I saddens me deeply to have to NOT take communion after the divorce. So much so I will have to leave the Catholic church or do 2 separate churches throughout the week. That is how much it means to me. I actually initially stayed in the marriage JUST so I could continue to take communion.

“...Communion is between a man and his God...”

True as long as a man follows the instructions of “his God” as commanded in scripture.

1 Corinthians 11:29

Luke 16:17

St. Luke 16:18

Tenth Commandment #6 (#7 Protestant version) Thou shall not commit adultery

This is a profound and terrible precedent being set against God’s scripture (in the article) and God will not allow it to stand, just my prediction.

Communion is between a man and his God, not between a man and his church.

Sorry, it's the Church which gives us Communion. The Church is the Mystical Body of Christ of which Jesus is the Head.

The two are inseparable.

[Read Write Repeat]

Communion is between a man and his God, not between a man and his church.

This Jew agrees.

[Arthur McGowan]

Nonsense. The Church is the source and custodian of the sacraments.

If you seriously believe what you say, then presumably you consecrate hosts and receive “communion” at your kitchen table.
