Does Attending a Non-Catholic Service Fulfill the Sunday Obligation?

thequeen:
If you are serious about coming home to the Catholic Church then you must cut all ties with any protestant church that you may be involved in if your Catholic parish has a choir see if you can sing in it you can do that before you are received in full communion in the Catholic church and as one post said you can be baptised conditionally if you are unable to get a copy of your baptismal record welcome to the faith

You don’t have to cut all ties with protestant churches, especially if you are employed by them!!! or married to one!!! or your children go to their school!!! etc etc.

You can continue to be a witness to the truth. Paul was always going to Synogog every Saturday.

I know you are attached to this protestant church, and like singing in the choir. But, at some point you will have to cut the cord so start letting this go if you are serious about becoming a Catholic.

I disagree. I am Catholic, yet I attend protestant services a couple of times a month in addition to fulfilling my Sunday obligation. I love our local Baptist church, have so many friends there, belong to various women’s groups and Bible studies, and love their praise and worship music that’s incorporated into their services. I still hold fast to Catholic doctrine, but I view this as something extra that helps fulfill my spiritual life and enhances my relationship with Christ.

Yes, this is true, but as it was pointed out by Mark, it must be a grave matter that causes you to be late. This wouldn’t hold true if you wanted to watch a TV show that ended when Mass began, then rush to the Church to make it by the Gospel. In the same sense, singing in a choir at another Church would likely not be considered ‘a grave matter’ that would prevent someone “who intended to arrive at Church on time” from being able to make it.
