I am not a confirmed Catholic, and a couple of weeks ago I was at an Anglican Christening and the vicar (a woman) invited everyone up for Communion. I hesistated a bit because I knew that Catholics aren’t supposed to get communion from elsewhere (and I haven’t received communion from my RC church). But I got an urge to do so and so I joined the line. It was weird because five or six people at a time knelt on a bench and each was given a paten, and then wine. And the whole time, everyone else in the church was talking amongst themselves, so it certainly wasn’t a reverent occasion! And there wasn’t even a cross to be see within the church - it felt more like being in a community hall.
Is my partaking of the Anglican communion something I should admit when I make my first confession? (which I’m not intending to do until I admitted fully at Easter vigil)
