It isn't profane at all to not go up to Communion. That is up to the individual.

It may not be profane, but it makes no sense, if one is in the state of grace.

You did the right thing and don't let anyone tell you differently. A satanic mass may have a valid consecration but I wouldn't attend one or receive communion at it.

I am so sick of hearing about the horrible abuses over and over again, things that should naturally cause a feeling of revulsion in the pit of a Catholic's stomach, only to have someone come along and try to defend and justify these same abuses.

I had been dealing with all the things mentioned on this thread at my former parish as well as other equally appalling things. I can't tell you how many times I gritted my teeth and put up with abomination upon abomination or how many times I received Holy Communion with tears in my eyes because of the irreverent and profane way Our Lord's Body was being treated. I would never put up with it again.

A year ago, I would have done just what you did, now not only would I not have received Communion at that mass I would have stood up and walked out. I'd rather start WWIII with my family than risk offending Our Lord by participating in something so profane.
