Can Emma go to a Catholic Church with Kendall ?

Question

it's just a question

Answer 1

I have been married 25 years - my husband is C of E, I am Catholic. We were married in a Catholic Church, raised our children Catholic, and he is welcome anytime to all church functions (and he has even volunteered to help when possible). All are welcome. You may hear people of other faiths make false accusations about the RCC - but you will never ever hear false accusations come from the RCC about any other faith. I hope Emma enjoys her experience.

Answer 2

Why not?

I was born into C of E faith.

My choice of church, when I want to go, is any Catholic Church rather than anything else.

Catholics have always been very welcoming; they don't mind you asking any questions, voicing opinions or even making direct comparisons.

Give them a chance to show you just how friendly and caring they can be and enjoy the differences - good thought-provoking stuff!  

Supporting Kendall would be appreciated by both K and the Church I am sure.

No-one will try to convert you!

Enjoy!

Answer 3

Anybody is welcome at a Catholic Mass. Only Catholics can receive communion but they welcome everyone to their worship services.

God Bless
