I have major issues with the Catholic Church and I won’t step foot in one. My friend is mad at me because I told her I cannot come to the ceremony. I told her I would like to attend the reception. Now she doesn’t want to come at all. Which is fine. It’s her day.

Is it necessary to go to the ceremony?
It's not necessary to go to the ceremony, and some people invite certain people only to the reception.
However, all rules go out the window when you **** off the bride.

So you can show up for the free food and drink but can't watch your friend get married?
It's not about YOU.
Lot's of people have issues with religion and churches, but those who aren't self absorbed put them aside for their friend or family.
If her mother died would you have said "sorry can't make your mom's funeral and be there for you, I have issues with the Catholic church"....sigh.
She already told you to stay away. I don't think you will have to worry about this friend anymore anyway.

It's very tacky to not go to the ceremony if you were invited.
It's basically saying I don't care about seeing you get married, one of the most important events in your life, I'm only interested in the free food and booze.

It’s not a good friend - More of an acquaintance so it’s not really that big of a deal. And yes I would say that because I do not go to Catholic churches
My brother was molested by a priest and then the church try to pay off my parents to keep quiet. That’s what this is about. And I’m not going to go.
hmmm....so you suffer from black and white thinking.....All catholic churchs are "bad", ALL priest are "bad".
Maybe you are standing up for a principle , while standing in quicksand.
Consider this an opportunity to mature in thought and recognize this flawed reasoning.

Well than when you got invite you RSVP "NO". That is too bad about your brother, but if got mugged by a black person would you dislike all black people?
At least send a card with a gift card, and next time you just opt out. You don't ask if you can skip the ceremony but attend the party.
We can see it's not a good friend, because "good friends" know that sometimes you have to put yourself on the back burner for others, because everything isn't about you.

If you don’t want to go to the ceremony because of your negative experiences with the Catholic Church, then don’t go. It would be tacky to go to the reception but not the ceremony. Get them a nice gift if you do that.
If it’s an acquaintance then why are they that upset that you don’t want to go?
