[PAR35]

The biggest impediment to Unity in Christianity is the refusal of Roman Catholics to take Communion with the rest of Christianity.We accept your testimony that you know the Lord and will allow you to sit at our communion table any day if you know Jesus.

Speak only for your own denomination, Blessed. A Roman Catholic should no more take communion from our table than I should take it from a Roman Catholic priest. "only those who profess the true religion, and who are communicants in good standing in any evangelical church...." may partake.

I don't know what evangelical church you belong to but anyone who accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior is welcome at a Southern Baptist Communion Table.

And it's basically the same verbiage in the Catholic Church. Only a Catholic in good standing (i.e., one who is in a state of grace, having no unforgiven mortal sin on his/her conscience) may partake.

I for one have never gotten this whole "unity for unity's sake" idea. What good does it really do to ignore all differences just to pretend we're all one? Of course, real ecumenism is a great thing.

As a Catholic I respect your stand. God bless you.
