Catholic AnswerNo, if you are sick in bed, say in the hospital, and are unable to attend Mass, then it is probably a profitable thing to do to listen to Mass on the radio or watch it on the television. However, neither would fulfill your Sunday and Holy Day Obligation of attending Mass. It is, indeed, a praiseworthy and holy thing to be able to receive Holy Communion, however, you are not required to receive Holy Communion except once during the Easter Season. You are, however, required toattend Mass each Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation. The main point of Mass is to worship Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, in person, when He arrives on the altar during the consecration. It is wholly impossible to do this in person on the television or radio: there you are just witnessing a representation of it.Wiki User
