Catholic participation in non-Catholic worship has always been condemned by the Church. Always. Canon 1258 of the Code of Canon Law (1917) said it was “forbidden to actively participate in the worship
Of non-Catholics,” and Canon 2316 said that anyone who did so was “suspected to heresy” (and one who Pertinaciously persevered in such activity would be deemed a manifest heretic). But the Church’s
Prohibition of “communication in sacris” is not just a matter of canon law but of Divine law as well, because Worshiping with unbelievers is a sin against God and a danger to one’s faith. In fact, it is an external denial of
The Faith. Hence, Pope Pius XI declared in Mortaliam Animos: “Thus, Venerable Brethren, it is clear why this Apostolic See has never allowed its subjects to take part in the assemblies of non-Catholics.” Interreligious
Worship leads to the heresy of indifferentism and imperils one’s salvation.
