But then the RCC also says that not receiving commuinion at least once a yr. is a mortal sin. But people such as I will get a pass because we are invincibly ignorant. Do you not see the contradictions here? Are there any absolutes in RCC beliefs? Isn't this judging? Can you not see that the RCC is working from a lets all get together and be happy, rather then following scripture?

No. You may get a pass, if you are extraordinarily worthy and utterly, helplessly ignorant.

There are no contradictions, only the recognition that God is merciful and soveregien and that different circumstances may apply in emergency situations.
