If I go to the trouble of creating a time machine, the message is probably important.

Anyway, I won't bother sending it back if I knew I never read it, so it leaves me little choice.

Yes. It's possible to 'change' time, or not - either way, I wouldn't have sent myself something unless it was very important that I read it.

Catholic Church never said anything about changing time.

Looks like I am the only one that said no.
I take it none of you got that spam email before that claims to be from you. Now open this attachment of important information?

I feel like I am smart enough to know about time travel issues that if future me sends one its with the intention of knowing that past me will open it

Only way I think this happens is if I am standing next to the shutdown button that saves the world.
I got nothing to say here.
