I'm a Catholic and have set foot in many a different church. I've even practiced Buddhism. I'm still a Catholic, albeit one with a better understanding of some other religions.

I was a Catholic until I was 13-ish. I remember there being some rule like that back in the 70's, I don't know if it was enforced, but I went to the Catholic gradeschool where we went to mass every morning and said the pledge of allegance and corporal punishment was Good To Go.
I think it should still be that way in public schools, cept for the mass every day part. |

Not really a "rule" not to set foot in another church, but more like the concept that all other religions will send you to hell was driven into my head. I think that is more of the "school" part of it and the era than the church itself, nationwide. |

I've been Catholic for 23 years and I've never heard of what you speak of. You can go to any church you want, just don't do communion in their church.

Never heard of it, in fact in studying for my confirmation, I had to interview ministers in other faiths to find more meaning in my Catholicism.

I remember this from my early days. I don't think it was ever said at the pulpit. My catholic days were up to about 1968. Mass in latin. No meat on fridays. When people actually put on their best clothes when going to church.
I was just wondering if others had heard this or not. |

I went to Catholic school and never heard that. IIRC, Catholics aren't supposed to take communion in other churches, or be married in other churches, but that's all I recall along those lines.

In catholic school... You can go to any church, but only take communion in a few... mainly those with "Catholic" somewhere in the full name. IE Greek Orthodox, Armenian...

You should not partake of the sacraments offered by other religions.
Back when most of society was pagan, this was a really big deal. Check here for answers to more of your questions. www.Catholic.com |

In grade school the nuns would tell us that. Vatican II came along and changed it.

 Actually, I've never heard that either. Might be something from the 50s when the church could afford to be inflexible. |

I grew up in Ireland and went to Catholics Schools run by the Christian Brothers… who were sort of like a band of Hardcore Stormtrooper Monks… we were told it was a mortal sin to go in any church but a Catholic one… also we were told that opening the door to Jehovahs Witnesses was as bad.
Ditto on the Yard Rule!… they laid into us every chance they got for the 'good of our souls'……ouch!  ANdy |

Not a sin to go to another church, although from the attitude of my parents, at one time it must have been strongly discouraged.
What I learned is that it is not a sin, but if you are Catholic, it does not fulfill your Sunday obligation to go to Mass. You are obligated to attend Mass in addition to wherever else you go. That may be where the "sin" part came in. By not going to Mass, it is considered committing a venial sin. As such, you are supposed to go to Confession before the next time you go to Mass and receive Communion. |

You can go to other churches, ie funerals, weddings, etc. But, you can not take communion from them etc. Kerry is screwed up in other ways.

BS
I have been a Catholic my whole life and that is simply untrue. I have even been to weddings in other churches that were blessed by an attending priest. |

I went to a Lutheran church in Berlin while on vacation, sat under the statues of Calvin and Luther himself.
 They haven't come to burn me yet... |
