Prior to 1960, yes, but not so much a sin as a "scandal". This is certainly no longer the case.
Roman Catholic AnswerTo clarify the answer above. Yes, it always involved the sin of scandal (among other things) and, yes, it is still a sin. You may attend an Ecumenical service for a good reason, or, perhaps, the baptism of a friend of relative who is not Catholic, however, it is still a sin to actively particiate in such a service in any way as that would be supporting a schismatic or heretical sect. If you feel a need to attend such a service for a good reason, I would recommend asking your pastor about this. Contrary to the above answer it is still the case, just not quite as black and white as it was before.Wiki User
