Reply #7: I said polite. I should have said respectful and humble.

If I as a Catholic refuse Communion, I am saying to all those present that they are only play acting, that only Rome has the real Christ and that they must return to Rome. I am saying that men can tell God where S/he can be present and where S/he can not be present. That sounds rather like some form of idolatry to me. Trying to define the Eucharist with words and saying that we have captured the Mystery is self delusion. I leave it to God to determine what is meant by the Body and Blood, and offer thanks for whatever grace I receive.

What makes a marriage sacramental isn't standing in front of a priest and reciting a formula. The sacrament is in the living sign of God's love. If you and your wife are one, then the marriage is sacramental.
