12. I was raised Catholic and here's what I say:
the official Catholic deal is, if you haven't been baptized then you are not supposed to receive the communion.

I have been baptized and when I recently attended a Catholic mass, I chose NOT to receive communion b/c I just don't buy into that stuff anymore.

I stayed seated and it was fine. It's only awkward if you think it is. It's perfectly understandable that you may choose to NOT take communion and yet still show your respect by your presence in church.
