It's o.k. . . . I should have emphasized that that was in the PAST.

GC 2003 happened in August, IIRC. We started looking for a church immediately, we joined our local Catholic parish provisionally (receiving under Canon 844) in January 2004, and we were received into the Catholic Faith on Memorial Day 2004.

We're home and hosed as they say (speaking of racehorses.)

Thanks AAM, I was just saying that the Canon in question makes it okay because IF one believes what that Canon requires, then he or she is Catholic in every way but on paper, so the sacraments can be received.

I am a bit of a rebel in this regard. As far as I am concerned, if one believes what the Church teaches, he or she is part of that Church. No one has the power to "make" you something you are not in your heart.
