    Paul of Eugene --

    I just now saw your post above.

    Amein! I simply cannot stand alcohol of any kind!
    When I was very young and immature, I tried so
    hard to drink, and how miserable it tasted! I finally
    came to the conclusion that for me, it all tastes
    bad.

    Perhaps you have not done this, but I had to learn
    to like green olives and some other foods. I
    thought I could learn to like alcohol, but I simply
    could not do it. Then I realized that many of the
    drinks people do with alcohol actually taste good
    using something other than alcohol! Pina colada,
    daqueries, wassail, wiskey sour, creme de mint,
    etc. I also dislike 7-Up, but make it 1:4 whiskey
    sour mix to 7-Up, and I love it! Frozen strawberry
    daquerie mix with Canada Dry -- delicious!

    (I don't know if I am spelling these right, but you
    know what I intend!)

    :)

    Is it true that some Catholic priests allow non-Confirmed spouses to receive the Holy Supper?

    I know that some Lutheran pastors do this. I believe it is a mistake. This practice causes public offense even when the spouse has made a private statement of faith.

    The sacrament of Confirmation is not necessary in order to receive Communion.

    It is necessary to be in unity with the Church to receive Communion. One must then be a Baptized member of the Catholic Church to receive Communion.

    I have never heard of a priest knowingly giving Communion to a person who is not of the Catholic Church because that person is a spouse to one who is.

    How does the congregation know the spouse is of the Catholic Church if the spouse has not been confirmed?

    Do children receive their first communion before confirmation?

    When a family registers with their local Catholic Parish, one of the questions is, "Where were you Baptized."

    Yes, that is the norm.

    trying2understand,

    Thanks, according to Lutheran tradition, first communion occurs after confirmation. I had assumed Catholics had a similar practice.

    With us many use the Lord's Supper [willingly and without constraint] every Lord's Day, but after having been first instructed, examined [whether they know and understand anything of the Lord's Prayer, the Creed, and the Ten Commandments], and absolved.
