Best Answer

You must be referring to a Catholic funeral where a brief rite is held at the door of the church when the priest receives the casket containing the deceased at the beginning of a funeral Mass. He then leads the procession to the front of the church.

Catholics may attend a service in another denomination but may not participate in their communion. Also, Catholics may not substitute attending a non-Catholic service for their obligation to attend a Catholic Mass.

No. It does mean they are regularly receiving the body and blood of Christ. It doesn't necessarily mean they are being like Christ in their community.


Finding the Right Church?

For people who have not been to church in a while, or for those who are new to an area, finding the right church can be daunting. Different churches, even within the same denomination, can vary greatly in how they do things and the type of atmosphere they project. First, decide on a denomination. For people who already have a church affiliation, this may be fairly easy. For those who aren’t affiliated with a church, this may be more time consuming. An internet search may be helpful to learn about the teachings of a church body. Next, decide on a church to visit. Many web sites of church denominations have listings of their congregations, so it is easy to find a church nearby. Also, asking friends and family members about their church may help decide on one to visit. Look at the church’s web site or call the church office to find out when services are held. Then, attend a service. While there, pay attention to the things going on and the people there. Are the people friendly? Do they introduce themselves, or do they ignore visitors? Does the pastor or church leader greet you? What is the size of the congregation, and are you comfortable with it? Some people prefer a large church that grants anonymity, while others prefer a smaller, close-knit congregation. Read the bulletin or service folder. This will be helpful in following along during the service. The bulletin will also show what kinds of activities are available at the church. Most importantly, pay attention to what is said and done during the service. Is it consistent with your beliefs? Finally, sign the guest book if there is one. This will let the pastor and church leaders know you came and be able to follow up with a visit or phone call. After attending a service, decide if this is the church you want to attend. Call the pastor or with any questions you may have. If you decide to attend this church, continue attending and ask how to become a member. If not, continue your search until you find your new church home.

What is to be cast out and no longer recognized as a member of a church?

You may be thinking of excommunication. However, in the Catholic Church, excommunication just means that you are under a discipline that forbids you from receiving any sacrament except confession. The Catholic Church really does not have anything that casts you out of the Church. Once you are baptized you are a member of Christ's Body, and will remain such a member, and hence a member of the Church, for all eternity, unless you cast yourself into hell upon your death.

Can Catholics receiving communion at an Episcopal become transubstantiated?

The bread and wine consecrated by a Catholic priest is transubstantiated to the body and blood of Christ. Although the catholic church respects the EPISCOPAL church which is very close in its teachings, there are subtle differences in the meaning of Eucharist and therefore transubstantiation is a prime doctrine of the Catholic church ( and some orthodox churches) only.


What makes one a full member of a church?

You know, there are probably tons of different answers to this question. In my opinion though, one thing that makes someone a "full" member is attending church regularly. Also, you could say another thing is activeness in a person's ministry; using their abilities and spiritual gifts to help the church and community. And, of course, to be a part of "the church body" one has to be a Christian. They have to trust in Christ as their Savior.


What is the church united together in Christ called?

The true church is called the "body of Christ". Christ is the Head and the church is the body.
