> I suspect a lot of local Parish Priests take what liberties they feel are appropriate. My sister was married in a Catholic Church. I’m Lutheran; knowing that my mother would want us all to commune together during the Mass, I asked the Priest if he would have a problem with Lutherans communing. His response - he didn’t have a problem with it if I didn’t.

Oh, I have no doubt that some priests bend the rules. Just that they can’t really do this officially, and have to watch that they don’t get caught.
