One must believe what the Church teaches and this belief is manifested both inwardly and outwardly as a confirmation of this belief. If one has a co-operative and willing attitude and desire, God will supply the necessary grace for one to do those things which are required to come into and be in communion with our Faith. <br />While it may be a noble aspiration, is just not possible for the Church to permit those outside of her to participate in our Communion, even while it is to be acknowledged that there are those inside the Church today who receive unworthily.<br />Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809499822558662728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-75766956996761793242017-06-30T17:39:45.061-04:002017-06-30T17:39:45.061-04:00As a book about the Eastern Orthodox Church noted ...As a book about the Eastern Orthodox Church noted years ago (and I think conservative Catholics would agree with this point): (Holy) Communion cannot be a means to achieve unity, but instead must be a result of unity already achieved. Thus for instance why the Eastern Orthodox do not allow intercommunion, not even with Catholics, because the two do not share the same faith (on such issues as the papacy, Filoque, Immaculate Conception and indulgences).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-1197676353723008692017-06-30T11:21:21.022-04:002017-06-30T11:21:21.022-04:00Father I was thinking the same thing.
