i walked to the parish church saw the gates were open but then reliezed that the gates into the church were locked. so i walked to another church, this time it was open i knew it would be. But i did not want to go in, i have never been into a catholic church, although i was christened a protestant i dont really belong in a particular church, i'm still looking for a branch. However i know some of the views of the catholic faith and know of the friction between protestant and catholic faith. i dont personally think it makes a great difference, although i understand others may see it differently.

so i stood outside for a while read all the signs and walked to the doors. Is it ok if you are christian to pay in a catholic church, i dont want to offend in their church. i looked into catholic faith previously but i dont speak or read latin or use a rosary.

is it ok to pray in their church?  

2. We don't check ID at the door to see if you're in the club. Come on in! The official stance is, I believe, we welome other denominations. Just don't participate in the Eucharist unless you're Anglican. There might be others that are close enough for government work, but Anglicans I am aware of.

My church prints such things on some bulletin or other.

"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Is the Eucharist the blood and body of christ?  Because i'm not particularly religious and I participated in that at my best friend's parish.

---

Indeed.

you can pray in the catholic church, but you can't take the communion.

they aren't going to stop you doing that. it's just not an accepted part of other demonimations' beliefs. for an anglican it would be like a free snack i guess.

have your lawyer call my lawyer
you're out of your mind

I think it's fine for you to go pray there.  I don't think people will go up to you and ask you if you are Catholic.

I am a protestant, (specifically Presbyterian) and as apart of my Confirmation I was to listen to another church service to try and open my mind.  Some of my friends went to Mormon and Islam churches.  I went to a local Catholic church.  It was different than what I was used to (that was the point of the whole lesson) with all the ups and downs, but it was a very meaningful sermon that taught me some very good lessons.

Afterwards, I talked with the priest with my mentor, who thought it was a very good thing that we were doing.  We all believe that Christ is our savior even though we have our petty differences.  You should be welcome in any church that you wanted to.

Beware though, some religions do have their rules.  If you went to a Catholic church and are not catholic, you can't take communion.

I hope I help you out

I don't know, I think I am 70/40 on this issue.  I always give it my 110%.
