[Magdalen] Lutheran-Catholic Concordat.

[James Handsfield]

Many years ago I went on a personal retreat at a Carmelite monastery - the Prior was my spiritual director for the retreat.  Fr. Steve told me that not only was I permitted to receive, but he expected me to participate fully in the prayers of the monastery and to receive at Mass every day I was there.
