Was it wrong to say it?

A friend who is a Protestant said (per e-mail) there weren’t any Portestant services on Pentecost Monday, an alternative would be a Cathoklic one but that was very early in the morning for him…

I e-mailed him back that there were other Catholic churches where they have masses too, I mentioned one with an evening mass also.

Now I am thinking maybe I shouldn’t have said anything, because really as a Protestant he shouldn’t go and receive communion (I think he thinks it is ok for him to take the host, even though I told him the church’s position).

I was really wavering because I didn’t want to deny him information about places to worship either!

(I didn’t tell him which mass I was going to, because I wouldn’t want him to come just because I go there… you may remember, I have posted about this before.)

What do you think, was it bad of me to even mention the mass times? Because he is not Catholic?
On the other hand, I would have felt bad also to kind of have a “you are not welcome” attitude!

I don’t think it was wrong to tell your friend where he could worship, but you would have needed to make it clear that he should not receive the Eucharist, citing disrespect, sacrilege, etc, and I don;t see why someone who so wanted to worship would not want to be respectful. If you’re not goingto be resoectful of God, why are to worshipping in the first place?
But if he did decide to be disresectful and receive the Host anyway, I don’t think it would reflect poorly on you in God’s eyes, if you informed the person to the best of your ability.
 
Jesus invited a bunch of Jews to Mass and one left to betray Him…Never, ever feel that it is wrong to invite someone to the Heavenly Liturgy.

As far as the particulars regarding the Eucharist, you could inform them but you are not held accountable for their actions whether they were informed or not. Let God work in His way. He knows how to handle it once they are there…But get them there…absolutely…God Bless…teachccd 🙂
