Funny, God does not turn people away, he works with you. So how is it that these people who represent God's loving kindness telling you "be gone!" Unless of course they are not really of God? See Jesus told Nicodemus; "I tell you the truth, unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3) ...
It does not matter how much bread you eat.
So if you have not been "born again" by praying Romans 10:9 and you do not enter the kingdom of heaven, guess where you are going to end up?
So I would pray: Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that you sent Jesus to die for my sins. Father God, I ask that Jesus come into my heart and save me. I believe the Holy Ghost will lead and guide me from this day forward unto all rightousness in you. Amen.
It is soooo simple. No big schmas or cartwheels/flips. Just a simple prayer and your in! Then the H.S. will lead you to live holy. So if you make a mistake you can just ask God to forgive you and that he help you to do better.
Doesnt that take a burden off your shoulders? It did me when I did it. Felt like a weight was lifted. I felt so light! Or would you rather say a thousand Hail Marys or flog your back till it is bloody in an effort to save your soul by "your" own means?
That is Gods way, simple. You choose.

Stuff like this makes me want to puke. You people are all pathetic and sick. Why shouldn't a 9 year old who was raped be able to get an abortion? Why? Can you imagine having to live the rest of your life with that under your belt? Can you? Have you ever been raped? At that age? By a family member? I didn't think so. Regardless of the circumstances, regardless of what the church thinks (because frankly I don't care at all) the child, the living child is the victim here. Not the church who was offended by her abortion. Give me a break. Get over it. People have abortions every day, and most of them are for way more frivolous reasons than being 9 years old and pregnant by your mother's husband's rape baby. And also, just as a side note, think of what giving birth to a baby would do to a 9 year old's body. It would most likely kill her. I'm sorry, I believe that the needs, rights and well being of the living should always outweigh that of the non living.

Do you mean eating "bread" or consuming the Holy Eucharist.
Eat bread wherever you want to. That's not a sin.
If you speak of the Holy Eucharist, then yes, it is a mortal sin for an excommunicated person to consume the Blessed Sacrament *anywhere* -- even in a place that they are not known.

Okay, it is not bread, it is the Body of Jesus. If you do not understanding this concept, you should not be receiving, or "eating" it.
You do not get excommunicated from you refer to as an individual "church," which is actually called a parish. When somebody is excommunicated, they are excommunicated from the whole Catholic Church. I have a feeling you are not excommunicated. If you feel you are excommunicated, please message me.

Could you explain a little better. I don't understand what you are asking. What Church were you from, why were you excommunicated. What is the problem with bread.

As far as I know, anybody can eat bread.
Only Catholics in good standing with the church, in a state of grace, are properly disposed to receive Holy Communion.
To receive communion in any other spiritual condition would objectively involve committing the grave sin of sacrilege.

It is always sin to eat bread (Holy Communion) when you are under mortal or grave sin even if others do not know it because God who sees and knows everything is first and foremost the one you are hurting. It is ignorance of God and of the doctrines of the Church to consider that one can escape the prying eyes of men but not considering that God still knows what he or she is doing. God knows everything and not recognizing this is sin in itself.

If you were excommunicated, don't you think you are being deceitful by taking communion. I'm not even a Christian, but you have an ethical problem with what you are doing.

to your own damnation: whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 1 Corinthians 11:27 (I think).

The Body and Blood of Christ is for all people who believe that Jesus was born, died, and resurrected. Do this in remembrance of me.
If your heart is on Jesus and you are believer in Christ and HIS teachings, reap the rewards of this sacred ceremony.
