<DIV>I was going to stay out of this, but I would like to share my own feelings. The "unworthy manner"</DIV>
<DIV>part I totally agree with. Okay, I was baptized Catholic, went to a Catholic grade school, and was</DIV>
<DIV>confirmed Catholic - But: For over 30 years now I have been what most would call a "fallen away</DIV>
<DIV>Catholic", and I don't plan on changing that (the reasons are personal and will stay that way).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, having said that, I plan on, and have looked forward to for months, to take communion while on</DIV>
<DIV>the Camino! For reasons that I can't even explain to myself, this is very important to me. Not only</DIV>
<DIV>my belief about Jesus, but also my innermost feelings about Him, are probably deeper than a good</DIV>
<DIV>many of practicing Catholics. If that isn't a "worthy manner" then I don't know what is.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please, I really don't wish to offend anyone. I just finally got up the guts to state my feelings.</DIV>
