Believe it or not, the difference in liturgy is negligible.

Not to split hairs on your point but although the differences are small, to me they add up to quite a lot. Then again, I’m a bit picky. 🙂

The issues for her are more doctrinal; papal supremacy/infallibility, Mariology, closed communion ect.

Ah. Fair enough. Has she talked to you about those issues?

If I was single I would likely return to fellowship with the church in a heartbeat, but I cannot with a clean conscience return fully unless my wife comes with me; I don’t know that she will.

I am not understanding this at all. I’m not going to Hell for anybody. I joined the Catholic Church without my wife. Nobody is going to keep me from the sacraments.

She joined years later after having her own conversion. I refused to allow her to convert just because I did. An insincere “conversion” is worthless.

If you really believe that Jesus Christ is truly present - Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity - on the altar, then how can you look at Him and say: ‘sorry, God; I have to deny You until my wife’s on board with his decision?’

Everyone else understands that returning to the Church necessarily involves reconciling with the Church, so It is unclear why you wrote what you did.

I think you just made my case: I wrote “such a person would need to reconcile with the RCC before receiving” precisely because I trusted that everyone else understands that returning to the Church means reconciling with the Church. I really had no idea that I needed to be more careful with my words than that, but apparently I did especially if it is still “unclear”. But never mind; I’m just sorry that I posted in the open waters, as it were, rather than sending a private message to the OP. Take care,

P.S. I mean that, of course, in the vein of “Regards”, “Best wishes” and the like, not as some kind of warning to be careful. (Although I do think it would be a good idea to put away your rake.)

The fact that I misunderstood you is not a good reason to regret posting in the thread on a general sort of topic. Sometimes people make mistakes.
