Hello,

One of the teachers at my son’s Catholic school is teaching that it is okay for a Roman Catholic to take part in a communion service outside of the Catholic Church as long as he or she does not state “amen” after receiving. I believe this to be incorrect and would appreciate the code of canon law teaching on this issue.

This same teacher is also teaching that St Joan of Arc never really spoke to God and feels her canonization was an error by the Church. Why would she be teaching this? Thanks in advance for your response!

You need to talk to the school teacher. If that does no good, go to the principal, then to the pastor, then to the diocesan school superintendent, then the bishop. If nothing is done, write the congregation in charge of the liturgy and sacraments (I can never remember the proper name!) and COMPLAIN LONG AND LOUD! Catholic schools are supposed to HELP parents teach the Faith to their children, not HINDER the teaching of It. I don’t know what cannon law you would look under, but I’m pretty sure the Catechism forbids it.

She is teaching her opinion instead of what the Church teaches, tell the Principal, DRE (director of Religious Education)and/or the Pastor. Or any and all. Keep checking with your daughter to see if she continues this kind of teaching if she does, then do what the other poster said.
No wonder some people are so confused with “teachers” like that. :whacky: Why can’t they just say that they don’t know when they don’t know and then check into the truth about it? Be much simpler that way for all concerned. Heck, she could even ask the DRE or Father to come in and teach them why not.
