” She went to her grave with that belief. “
Faithful obedience. A wonderful women was she.
There is no prohibition against non-Catholics receiving Communion. They must, however, satisfy a number of preconditions including being in a state of grace, having been to confession since your last mortal sin, you must believe in the doctrine of transubstantiation and must not be under must not be under an ecclesiastical censure.
I wouldn't want to leave you with that impression exactly - So let me correct my words:
Potentially, any Christian has the power to loose and bind - The power resides in the Spirit, not in the man, be he a ditch-digger or a pope.
Excuse me but where are all those conditions listed in the bible? I’ve already listed scripture Acts and Luke. Thanks.
Unfortunately for her because she was refused communion she never felt that to the day of her death.
I don’t believe there is scripture to support that communion is a CATHOLIC Sacrament.

A typical example.
Really? But you do not deny that you adhered to an anti-Catholic belief before being denied a Catholic Sacrament. Right? Or is it your claim that Luther and Catholicism never separated?
You read her mind? You know for a FACT that she did NOT receive the Last Rites?
My correction aside, which seems to have crossed your missive in the ether, Each is given of the Spirit according to his faith.
It is the Spirit who sanctions.
I am always interested when people post such clear examples of hatred for someone else’s religion. as here:

Post #28
I was a teenager at the time. I didn’t really know what being a “Lutheran” or a “Catholic” was.
Today as an adult thankfully I know the difference about what being a Christian means. I wouldn’t let any Catholic priest deny me from communing with the Saints.
I wasn’t with her when she died. I do know she was denied communion on Sundays at the local catholic church where she worshipped until her death.
Hatred? That post is a fairly rational explanation of why he doesn’t like a religion. I don’t see any hatred.
No I didn't, I acknowledged what YOU WROTE. Your own words doubt the Salvic power of Christ. YOU judge that Mel Gibson is beyond absolution, I disagree.
"You’re right, so why do you persist?"
Because I am right!
So on a limited view of what your dear and saintly relative endured, you claim some kind of harm and a validation of your own denial of her fervent faith! What an odd rationalization.
“Each is given of the Spirit according to his faith.”
That is what you build your odd view on? Wow. Much stew from little meat. Since your view denies the early Church, the Diadache, the very Gospel’s themselves, you will allow that MY view that the Catholic Church is correct is no less correct than yours, no?
“No I didn’t, I acknowledged what YOU WROTE.”
No, I said he would face an accounting. You made a faulty assumption.
“Your own words doubt the Salvic power of Christ.”
No, my words doubt the power of a priest or pastor to forgive anyones sins.
“YOU judge that Mel Gibson is beyond absolution,”
Again, no. Nobody is beyond salvation. Being saved does not mean you won’t have to answer for things you’ve done.
“Because I am right!”
Well you may be a conservative but I don’t know. You are certainly incorrect in the assumptions you’ve made about me.
Yeah so odd that a family member would be hurt by the unjust treatment of a loved one. Thats really odd!!!
You assume it was unjust, the affected family member did not. Why are you setting your opinion against the very person who was allegedly wronged?
