thrashmetal14 07/16/17 9:05:21 PM #1:	Talked to a couple of my co-workers earlier who are both Catholic and they both said they had to pay money to take confirmation classes. My parents forced me to take confirmation classes (at a lutheran church) but it was free. So basically catholics think you should have to pay money in order to take communion?

Dash_Harber 07/16/17 9:13:08 PM #3:	Most religions take money from their parishioners. Some actually charge you, others guilt you into 'donating' your money or withhold good standing without donations. I grew up JW, and although they never actually charged you anything, you can sure as fuck bet that donating was the surest way to get standing in the congregation. <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:883043103] in Catholics ...

thrashmetal14 07/16/17 9:22:25 PM #4:	Donations are one thing because you can do it anonymously and can donate as much or as little as you want (guilt tripping aside) Catholics literally make you pay to take confirmation classes, basically requiring you pay money to take communion. Thats fucked up. If Jesus existed he would probably be pretty pissed about that. <cite>thrashmetal14 posted [p:883043624] in Catholics ...

MatTa00 07/16/17 10:16:10 PM #24:	I grew up Catholic and I've never heard of them charging for things beyond ceremony fees in the actual church (baptism and marriage as far as I know) and that is mainly to cover basic costs and sometimes the choir gets donations for their involvement and priest gets a little spending money too. All the religious education stuff was free and was run by volunteers in the community. I assume that this is decided by the bishop of your local diocese if it does indeed vary by location.
