I sent a letter to the priest and the bishop

[ElizabethPH]

I am not baptist

I dont feel I can let it go till I get my answer

Oh I’m sorry I thought it was said along the thread someplace that you are a baptized Baptist. Anyway it doesn’t matter whatever denomination you are the question remains the same.

If you can’t let it go for now, it seems you’ve done all you can with leaving a message for the secretary and all. Continue to pray about it as we are. People do care as evidence of the folks here on this forum and with the Catholic community that has accepted you.

 

[kathrynsue]

I bet if I was at 1 of your church I would have had a answer by now and may even have been about to recive the Eurchrist by now

If you were part of the church, then there would be no need for you to receive special permission to receive communion, so I don’t understand the comment.

I am saying I bet the priest and bishops in your area would not be so hard to talk to and I would had my answer by now

kathrynsue,
Can’t you just keep going to mass? I wish very badly that you could take communion but as everyone has stated, it isn’t that easy. Maybe after the next mass you attend you could ask the Priest directly how you could go about becoming Catholic? If he says the standard way is to join RCIA remind him that you have a brain tumor and that won’t be possible. Tell him straight up that you want to become Catholic before you die. Ask him what you should do? If he says, "You’ll have to call me at my office and we can discuss it tell him that you are growing increasingly frustrated and you feel like NOBODY is helping you. I pray he will listen to you. I don’t think your request is too much to ask at all. I’m thinking that because you haven’t been able to reach the Priest (through no fault of your own) he just isn’t aware of what’s going on.

And in the meantime, keep coming to mass. God knows your heart and He will bless you.

Peace be with you.

I never said I want to become CATHOLIC NEVER SAID THAT

Kathy if you don’t want to become a catholic then you will not be able to recieve the Eucharist in the Catholic Church. I’m sorry that you feel that way. We believe differently about the Eucharist and if you don’t want or don’t believe what we believe then that is probably why they haven’t allowed it.

Did you finish your RCIA last year? If you took RCIA last year then the priest must know you already and your situation. If you went to the classes and still chose not to become catholic due to your belief then there may not be anything left for you to do but attend Mass and pray a spiritual communion prayer.

I do hope you can get these things cleared up.

Last Year in RCIA the bishop clearly said that some rare sistuations non catholics can do that so I am trying my best to get my situation heard

he doesnt seem to know or understand that I cant go to non catholic churches he is 1 of the hardest people to talk to I have ever met in my hole life

"Later, in No. 46 of the encyclical, the Pope reminds us of those rare cases, and under what conditions, non-Catholic Christians may be admitted to the sacraments of the Eucharist, reconciliation and anointing of the sick.

This administration is limited to “Christians who are not in full communion with the Catholic Church but who greatly desire to receive these sacraments, freely request them and manifest the faith which the Catholic Church professes with regard to these sacraments. Conversely, in specific cases and in particular circumstances, Catholics too can request these same sacraments from ministers of Churches in which these sacraments are valid.”

For these reasons the Church recognizes that “in certain circumstances, by way of exception, and under certain conditions, access to these sacraments may be permitted, or even commended, for Christians of other Churches and ecclesial Communities” (No. 130).

Apart from the case of danger of death, the Episcopal conference and the local bishop may specify other grave circumstances in which a Protestant may receive these sacraments although always respecting the conditions outlined above in the Holy Father’s encyclical: “that the person be unable to have recourse for the sacrament desired to a minister of his or her own Church or ecclesial Community, ask for the sacrament of his or her own initiative, [and] manifest Catholic faith in this sacrament and be properly disposed” (No. 131).

requires permission according to the directives of the diocesan bishop and the provisions of canon law (canon 844 § 4). "

Does your former church have Sacraments and do you hold the same beliefs about these Sacraments as the Catholic Church? Are you prepared to go to Confession prior to Communion?

before this disorder came I was going to about the same 3-5 churches a week

1 by 1 they told me what they thought of the disorder and how a doctors note didnt change there minds

So I been going to only catholic services while there i read some non catholics can take it then 1 nice in a RCIA class the bishop also said yes that was true

doctors say my cussing disorder is rare giving me a rare situation and being stuck with this as my only church but as grand ma thinks and I am starting to think if this takes any longer I wont be able to go to a church at all cause I will be in a insane hospital locked in a room nearly 24 hours a day

 

[Through_Him]

The 1 I sent to the bishop had a extra page explaining my disorder that makes me unable to attend non catholic church services, Since the Priest surely noticed my disorder within the past nearly a year of going to his church I didn’t bother putting that extra paper in it. I know he surely noticed last Sunday cause if he didn’t I am rather surprised and kind of worried about him.

I have a tourttets like disorder that makes me cuss, which happened rather loudly near the priest last Sunday.

Well I am mostly wondering either of them has gotten the letter yet, I was rather scared to ask the Priest about receiving the Eucharist but wasn’t nervous asking the bishop. They way I understand your laws, The priest needs to get the bishops permission to do it before he can.

I hear lots of Catholic churches have there first Communion service in May,

If I do get the permission I need I wonder if that’s when it will start?
or
Will he just walk up to me before a mass one morning and say I got the permission you needed you can receive it now during mass

Sorry if I am making to many topics but this is on my mind and I don’t really have anyone to talk about it to at the moment

Look for a Catholic Church that has facilities for disabled people. Even try a Catholic Nursing Home if one is near by. They have Chapels and regular Masses. Ours is open to the public and the ones in the home have a variety of handicapps. You may be challenged in one way but God will open a window for you. God bless you for trying. I think your guardian is just looking out for your welfare with concern how you will be treated.
They in the nursing homes the sisters or nuns will know how to help you. They may be able to get you a sponsor which is what you need but she needs to be Catholic and it sounds like your guardian is not a Catholic. Please check into this as our priest at our nursing home is a blessing and there are deacons that may be able to help you too. God bless you and keep you :yyeess:

This is so not true you will never be refused communion. Our nursing home priest takes the communion to the residents into there room if they do not go to the chapel. I believe you have in your sincere heart the desire for communion. You sound like you understand only can’t write it quite clearly. I wish I could reach out to you right now and tell you that there is hope. I pray for you to be approached now for the desire you have. I knew someone with this T. disease and he knew he may not have any amount of borrowed time. I pray that there are no more obstacles for you to receive. Talk with a deacon or a grief counselor of a nursing home or a social worker, you need some one to help you stand up for what you want.

Have you been baptized?

yea last year

In the Catholic church? Well I’m sure you love your grandma very much and she is very smart but I don’t think she quite understands all of the church.

If you don’t want to join the Catholic Church, I’m not sure you understand what it means to join, you want to receive communion. You maybe don’t know what it means to join or you may feel you could not be accepted or feel to different or not accepted?

I understand how you may feel.

If you were baptized in the trintiy it would be official. If they said (In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit) . Have you asked for an annointing of oil?
Go to a priest and ask for to go to confession. Ask for an annointing and holy water.

Receiving the Eucharist is what Catholic is all about, it is being one with Jesus one bread one body. It is a sacrament and very holy. You are joined with Jesus and his Church which is all of us in one body. I’m sorry this is hard for you but Jesus will not reject you He loves you just as you are, but we are all sinners so we need confession and and absolution which comes from the priest who is representing Christ.
