She would not be excommunicated, she's too young to be guilty of mortal sin. (Seven is generally considered the age. Friend of mine told her little brother on his seventh birthday, "Happy Birthday! Now you can go to Hell!")

Since the child is supposed to be raised Catholic, however, the xGov should not allow her to receive in the Episcopal church. Aside from the doctrinal differences that have always existed, that church is now completely heretical and to receive there would be affirming all the nonsense the church is up to these days.

Like admitting to seminary a guy who joined the church last week . . .

I clearly don’t see a problem with receiving Communion in a church, if you are a believer and accept the doctrine of what it means. Why would it matter?

Did I miss something?

The story says he will study there. This is just a higher education opportunity...not a path to “PRIESTHOOD”.

I am afraid a lot is being read into this story...that is not there.

I am, however very sorry to see that the church has accepted this situation...I believe it makes the point...”follow the money”.

Is this worse than all the schools who accept foreign students at FULL tuition or Rehabs accepting money for weird reasons including privacy?
