Hi Everyone,

My son's good friend is Jewish and we are invited to his barmitzpha (i have no idea how to spell it sorry). I have made the decision not to go to the actual ceremony but just to the reception after. I am a new traditional catholic (used to be novus ordo) and I didn't think it would be right if we were witnesses at this ceremony. Am I making the right decision or is this considered rude?? Help! thanks! :confused1:

At the very least, we cannot attend "other-religious" ceremonies or worship or churches. So that much is pretty certain. Even receptions don't sit right with me, but... I'm a bit fuzzy about this kind of thing.
.........................
I renounce any and all of my former views against what the Church through Pope Leo XIII said, "This, then, is the teaching of the Catholic Church ...no one of the several forms of government is in itself condemned, inasmuch as none of them contains anything contrary to Catholic doctrine, and all of them are capable, if wisely and justly managed, to insure the welfare of the State. Neither is it blameworthy in itself, in any manner, for the people to have a share greater or less, in the government..." I likewise renounce any statements I may have made, insinuating that the Church should "change it's mind" in this matter, or might somehow be wrong about it. God forgive me!

Yes, in the strict sense even the reception is not the best idea, but not sure if it is a sin. When In doubt ask your priest.

Please pray for Bishop Richard Williamson, a noble prelate whose wisdom and zeal for the truth have inspired many.
On October 23, 2012, the good Bishop was cast out of the SSPX, where he had labored tirelessly for 36 years.
His continued membership in the SSPX would have made a premature union with Rome more difficult.
