Regarding the taking communion and confession discussion, do we know if the family is Catholic?
Episcopalians also can take communion, and not necessarily confession.
Do we know which church they attended? Being from Tennessee I would have imagined they'd be Southern Baptist or something like that, but I don't know anything about those.
Sorry if that's already been disclosed, I'm a bit behind (present family problems)
Yes, Catholic.
From the article I linked above...
Woodwards parents, Blake and Michele, sat in the second row of the courtroom with Wilbur Davis, a retired priest whom theyve known for 10 years through Our Lady Queen of Angels Catholic Church in Newport Beach. They recited the Lords Prayer before the court proceeding began.
Davis described the family as devout in their Catholic faith. Woodwards parents attend Mass nearly every day, he said.
Incidentally, many Protestant churches take communion (even Southern Baptists, just not as often, and they usually refer to it as The Lord's Supper). And there are Catholics in the south. I grew up in MS, raised Southern Baptist, and my best friend in HS was Catholic.
