Here’s a way to tell. Just call up random Catholic churches and ask them. You are a wealthy Protestant spouse of a Catholic unwilling to become Catholic but willing to give generously to the parish if you can receive Communion. You are looking for a new parish and are discreet. And see what they say.

TBH I don’t think this has anything to do with money.

Bingo, someone here gets it. This is all about attracting as many people as possible to come and fill the collection baskets.

By the way, it's not only Catholic Churches who are guilty of this. I personally know of the case of a large, popular Evangelical church in this area which married a couple I am acquainted with. Both had been cheating on their prior spouses with each other for many years. This is the woman's 4th. marriage. Both are professionally successful, and capable of writing very big checks to a church.
