Whether someone goes to communion or not does not require your permissions or my permission or the church's permission. Or do you think you are better than everyone?

Pssst...Infanticide and communion are apples and oranges.

guidelines for the reception of communion

As Catholics, we fully participate in the celebration of the Eucharist when we receive Holy Communion. We are encouraged to receive Communion devoutly and frequently. In order to be properly disposed to receive Communion, participants should not be conscious of grave sin and normally should have fasted for one hour. A person who is conscious of grave sin is not to receive the Body and Blood of the Lord without prior sacramental confession except for a grave reason where there is no opportunity for confession. In this case, the person is to be mindful of the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition, including the intention of confessing as soon as possible (canon 916). A frequent reception of the Sacrament of Penance is encouraged for all.

ARTICLE 2:PARTICIPATION IN THE BLESSED EUCHARIST Canons 915 and 916

Can. 915 Those upon whom the penalty of excommunication or interdict has been imposed or declared, and others who obstinately persist in manifest grave sin, are not to be admitted to holy communion.

Can. 916 Anyone who is conscious of grave sin may not celebrate Mass or receive the Body of the Lord without previously having been to sacramental confession, unless there is a grave reason and there is no opportunity to confess; in this case the person is to remember the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition, which includes the resolve to go to confession as soon as possible.

Or do you think you are better than everyone? Everyone? No just better than you apparently. I have shown you the USCCB and the canon law that are applicable.

Pssst...Infanticide and communion are apples and oranges.

Actually I was referring to the reception of receiving communion while in a state of grave/ mortal sin. and since they are both grave sins you would be receiving in an unworthy manner

1 Corinthians 11:27 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

Here is the part where you say "oops I was wrong" or begin church shopping.

“Whether someone goes to communion or not does not require your permissions or my permission or the church’s permission.”

Actually, people do require the Church’s permission. Those receiving communion must be in good standing.
