My point was that McGreevy is aware that his daughter shouldn’t be receiving communion from the Episcopal Church, when his ex-wife clearly intends for the child to be raised Catholic. I think he’s doing this out of spite. Because of the girl’s age, she probably won’t be “excommunicated” per se, because her parents are responsible for guiding the girl’s religious upbringing. The Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches generally forbid their members from receiving Communion in churches of other denominations.

I keep waiting for someone to say that Communion for children is not a part of Episcopal practice.

You must be confirmed in the church at a later age...and free choice.

Anyone else confused by this...it seems a non-issue which the Mother does not understand.

Understood. I was seeking clarity regarding at what age the child would be expected to understand the sin and to act independently of McGreevy’s direction.
