Should I participate in communion if I don't go to church a lot?
Yes, because maybe after it you will feel the push to go to Church more often. and you might actually enjoy it more to.Roman Catholic AnswerIn the Catholic Church, Holy Communion is the actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, and as St. Paul warns us that anyone who eats and drinks this great Sacrament unworthily defiles the Body and Blood of the Lord. Thus you should only go to Holy Communion after you have been to confession if you have any mortal sins on your soul. If you have missed Mass on a Sunday or Holy Day, then you have committed mortal sin, usually, and should go to confession before approaching the altar.
Do you have to go to confession if you don't have mortal sins?
As you put the question, no, you must go to confession once a year, regardless, and you must go to confession anytime that you are in mortal (serious) sin. Without going to confession you may not receive Holy Communion without damning yourself. Those are the only times that you are required to go to confession.Outside of that, you need to go to confession regularly if you have any desire whatsoever to grow in the spiritual life, and obtain heaven. Once a month is the absolute minimum for that.
How does the Anglican church members go to confession?
On the whole, unless an Anglican is of the Catholic tradition in the Anglican Church (ie, they are catholic to all intents and purposes except they reject the authority of the pope), then Anglicans do not go to confession. That does not mean that they do not confess their sins! At almost every Anglican service there is an act of confession and absolution, and Anglicans take sin just as seriously as Catholics. However, the vast majority of Anglicans do not see the need to confess to a priest as an intermediary, but confess directly to God, as per the early Church practices and reject entirely the Catholic tradition of 'having' to go to confession on, say, a weekly basis. Instead they confess their sins when they need to, directly to God, whether as part of a service or not.
