I surely cant advise you about what to do about your husband’s action; but I believe allowing someone to knowingly sin puts the sin on you as well. I know Jesus talked about this somewhere, sorry im not sure of the reference on that.
Hence, every time hubby takes confession and you donot confront the situation your in sin! So, your kind of like in sin too eapecially if you receive behind him.
I dont have references and quotes but what i said is true. If you do nothing, at least pray. But if you go to confession, you have to tell the priest…or you not giving an honest confession.
Everyone is worried about what your husband is doing. You should think about your state of grace too!!
 
It is considered sacrilege for a non Catholic to take communion. Tell him the Catholic beliefs on the Eucharist. That according to Catholic beliefs, it offends Jesus deeply when non Catholics take communion. Ask him to respect your beliefs.

Whatever you do, do NOT ignore it or let God sort it out. You would be implicit in the sin. God could be using you as a mouthpiece. Pray for guidance. 🙏 👼

God bless

More solid advice.

OP, I recommend you disregard all advice given in this thread aside from that given by @TheLittleLady and @stpurl

They are the two who have given you rock solid Catholic advice on this situation.

@MissTherese and @JoeVig gave you good stuff as well.

Good Christian men do not desecrate the Body of Christ.

Be careful lest you become complicit in this horrendous sin.

I cannot stress enough the importance of getting him to stop receiving unworthily. This is literally one of the worst possible sins a human can commit. It is a direct sin against Jesus Himself. St. Paul writes early Christians were keeling over and dying because they were receiving unworthily.

Your husband would be better off never stepping foot in a Catholic Church again for the rest of his life, rather than going and receiving unworthily even one more time. Does that illustrate how serious this is?

Can’t imagine that three children seeing their father never attend church again would go over well for their faith and the strength of the family. 😦
 
It would be better than three children seeing there father desecrate the Body of Christ over and over again.

He’d be better off teaching his children to be non Catholic and just watch football every Sunday rather than go to Church just to desecrate the Sacrament.

Would it be better for a person to become a priest in order to molest children? Or just stay a layman?

It’s better to be non Catholic than to be a wolf in sheeps clothing. Disingenuous so called Catholics will be judged harsher than non Catholics.

‘Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.’

Those are the words that we say as part of the communion rite. It is between your husband and God.
 
The Priest also prays “God, let not reception of your body and blood be unto condemnation or judgment, but only unto healing of soul and body”.

Catholics have a responsibility to make sure Our Lord is reverenced, especially in his most vulnerable form when he comes as mere wheat and wine.

Pretending nothing is wrong or ignoring sacrilegious acts is not the solution here.
 
Well that depends.
Does the faith of a child rest on whether that child sees a parent go to church?

It is certainly important for children to see faith in action.

But children are not stupid.

If little Bobby and Cindy see Mom and Dad ‘going to Church’, where Dad sits like a lump, grumbles, gives people the stink eye, and seems to pick quarrels with Mom every Sunday, “I suppose you’ll have me just sit in the dang pew AGAIN while the REST of you privileged people get to do what you want”,
and they see Mom looking sad and Dad looking mad,
Just how good do you think that would be for their faith?

Or picture little Bobby and Cindy. They see Dad swaggering around while Mom looks sad. They see that when there are questions of ‘doing right’, it doesn’t matter what their priest or their catechism teachers or the Church says. . .Dad does what HE wants. I wonder how THAT will affect their faith. . .
 
I think a GodMan who was comfortable feasting with prostitutes, thieves and others rejected by the ladies of “society” is more than strong enough to know whether or not those baptised who approach him are sheep or wolves regardless of whether they carry Catholic cards. Indeed some with Catholic cards may find themselves failing His mission that we all may be one.

This. Study after study shows that kids follow the faith of dad. Mom can be the most devout person on the planet and an unpracticing Dad will still be the strongest example.

Of course it is not good to see dad committing sacrilege every week, but, to run him off cannot be constructive.
 
I think the God-Man who fashioned a whip and went and flipped out on the people desecrating his Fathers Temple would be just fine with his followers making sure the Temple which is the Body of Christ stays sacred and profanation of said Temple is never, NEVER under any circumstances acceptable.

How is a baptised Christian respectfully coming before Jesus comparable to men making money out of religion?
 
Because if they were truly respectful they would respect the institution which Jesus vouchsafed to the world and abide by the norms set out by said institution.

Unworthy reception of the Eucharist is a hideous sacrilege. This is perennial Christian doctrine.
 
Even dogs can eat the scraps that fall from the owners table.
I don’t believe your extreme need for respect is in anyway shared by Jesus in my reading of the NT.
How is it working for your marriage?

I find it offensive you compare the Precious Body of Jesus to scraps from a table.

The Lord also said “Do not cast your pearls before swine” and “give not that which is holy to dogs”.

My Marriage is just fine, thanks.

Also, I seem to remember Jesus battling with someone who was twisting Scripture to come up with things that went against God… who was that again?

It is. What’s also perennial Christian doctrine is that judgement is the Lord’s.

When we try to make people approach religion “our way”, the usual affect is that they stop approaching.
 
I’ll accept concession.

Considering I’m teaching Catholic infallible doctrine, I can see why you can’t overcome it.
