There is a 30-foot-thick wall surrounding the Vatican.

What a bald-faced liar is this Pope !

I don’t know why 3 priests would tell you you were not welcome in the Catholic Church. With few exceptions, anyone can attend any Catholic mass, wedding, funeral, or community event. At mass you can pray, sing, hear the Word, present yourself for a blessing at communion, etc.

Being welcome in a Catholic Church, however, and being in communion with the Catholic Church and able to fully participate in the Sacraments are two entirely different things.

Non-Catholics should not present themselves for the Eucharist or most other Sacraments because they are not in communion with the Church. Most everything else is open to all.

There is a process to becoming Catholic that involves more than just walking in the door of a church.

Anyone interested in becoming Catholic may participate in RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) classes which help those wanting to become Catholic understand the full teaching of the Catholic Church. Any encumbrances to obtaining full communion with the Church, such as marriages that require convalidation will need to be addressed before the appropriate Sacraments can be administered and a person can be brought into full communion.

Love,
O2

Thank you, omegatoo. I thought maybe delta meant because of being unvaxxed, but maybe not...

Maybe if the pope looked out his window he would see that the vatican city is completely surrounded by a huge thick stone wall that has been there for over a thousand years. Why was IT built?
