text: My personal opinion is that it is okay for you to attend your friend's church.  I was raised Catholic and I think you are asking what is the Catholic Church's stance on attending other churches.  I will try to find a link to this to help you.\n\nOKAY - HERE IS A LINK ON THIS TOPIC WITH THE CHURCH'S ANSWER.  It is from the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston.  He says the answer is Yes, Catholics may attend Protestant Services.   And gives some guidelines you should read.  \n\nhttp://www.dwc.org/questions/services.shtml\n\nHe says the "The bottom line, one can attend other Christian services and there certainly are times when this is appropriate. However, the regular celebration of one's faith in a Catholic Church ought not to be interrupted, especially on Sundays and Holy Days. And Catholics should not partake in communion in other Churches, because we do not share a common faith in the Eucharist as the Real Presence of Jesus Christ.".\n\n******************************\n\nNOTE:  I have attended funerials held in protestant churches where Catholic Priest and Nuns were in attendance because they were paying their respects.  I have also been to inter-faith services that were led by Priests and Ministers of various faiths.\n\nSee above link for "official" stance on this question.  I always believe it is better to post a link, than to just give a personal opinion.
