All you have to do to get a "Doctor's" degree is get people excited? Who knew?

HAHA!
This may explain the age difference in my relationship.

Here's something someone just posted (I'm too tired to figure out screen capture right now):
"Just curious....should a Christian, or any religion other than Catholic, take communion at a Catholic church?"
What do you think?

But if older women feel old and worthless who cares?

No. The Catholic Church asks that only baptized Catholics receive communion. There are usually guidelines somewhere in the pew that explain it for those non-Catholics who may be visiting.

My husband's church doesn't have guidelines or say anything about who's eligible, but I know I'm ineligible (and I'm fine with that.) I googled it before I ever visited his church.
I learned at a Catholic Camporee with the Cub Scouts that the kids who haven't made their first communion and those of us who aren't Catholic can cross our arms over our chests if we want to get in the line. Then we get a blessing, but not communion. It's a nice way to include non-Catholics in the service.

It is often in the front inside cover of the missal. Sometimes the back inside cover.
Some priests do not like the extra people in line/giving blessings as it is not officially allowed. It is something that likely began as some do it for small children carried by their parents. So whether or not that is welcome very much depends on the priest and parish. Official guidelines suggest that those not receiving remain in the pew and pray.

I personally stay in my seat. I feel awkward participating in this fashion, but it's definitely SOP at my husband's church. Lots of families with kids too young for communion are in the line. I think ESPECIALLY at a Catholic Cub Scout function, the blessing is important, since the boys are first grade & up. Here (perhaps different in other dioceses?) they make their first communion near the end of 2nd grade.
At my man's church, they have people assisting for every 75 chairs (give or take) so from a logistics standpoint the serving takes just a few moments, but long enough for some contemplation.

I was recently at a Catholic funeral Mass and thats exactly what I did. I understood enough of the liturgy that I knew we didn't see eye to eye regarding what was going on up there, so I remained seated and prayed for the family during that time. I absolutely understand why they would ask non-Catholics to abstain, since they take it even more seriously than my fundy churches did and they always asked people to consider not taking it for a variety of reasons (including asking them to be members in good standing at a church of like faith and practice) It seemed like the right thing to do, I wasn't the only one to remain in my seat, but I didn't see any instructions anywhere and the priest didn't say anything about it.
