You don't, you may even cheat and eat before the communion but you would only cheat yourself

The only time a priest can reject your request of communion

is if you have sinned (a lot) and try to speak it with the priest. He will order you a fasting for a month or even more depends on your sins and after that he will allow you to go again for a communion

that mostly happens in your local churches

So if the priest determines, during your confession, that you’ve sinned a lot he will ask you to fast for a period of time before he lets you partake of communion again?

What's to stop someone from accepting communion in the hand and then sneaking out?

The lightning rod of Jesus 🤷🏼‍♂️

The people around you

it's a stigma here to steal

Well here too

It is here too 🤣

you could pick pocket it but you would sin greatly

for a minimum "reward"

But a Satanist could go and pretend to be Orthodox, get the bread and then leave

It's necessary for the satanic black mass to have consecrated bread. Former satanists have said they can actually tell the difference in consecrated and unconsecrated

It must be conducted by a priest who of course has left the Church. But Orthodox ordination is exactly as valid as Catholic. They have apostolic succession

And so is Orthodox Eucharist.

We do not have problem with satanists here though, nowdays with the newer generations we could see a rise

So I don't understand why it never seems to happen to Orthodox

Black mass has to be done by ex-priests?

Yes

Interesting...

@Deleted User I don't know for the slavic people

Orthobros could just be lucky in Europe.

but the generation of my father/mother had a 90+% unity in church

Does it not happen here?

while mine generation had 60+%

Same here too. Once upon a time this would be unthinkable

nowdays we have fallen to 36%

The socialistic governments helped a lot

F

Also yesterday you said that orthobros doesn't let catholics to attend communion, I believe in Greece we do allow

but I'm not sure

Orthodoxism differs a lot from the slavs to greeks

Even today the church of constantinople have a schism with the church of Russia

Do American orthodox not have issues with stolen communion?

I don't even knew you had Orthodoxism in America before ragni mention it haha

Multiculturalism my man

The ultimate melting pot/mixing bowl

We have everything over here.

Even had a psycho Hindu guy out in Oregon that tried to poison a couple towns because his people couldn’t bully the voters in the county.
