Wuerl is a bald-faced liar. He has told this lie repeatedly, and he has been corrected repeatedly—most notably by Cardinal Burke, and by Dr. Ed Peters.
At this point, there can be no doubt: Wuerl is a deliberate, obstinate liar.
Canon 915 MANDATES Denial of Communion when a person is obstinately persisting in MANIFEST, GRAVE sin.
I.e., the “state of the soul,” has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Wuerl has been peddling his lie for more than a decade. He peddled it in interviews during the two sin-nods.
This is what Ed Peters has called attention to repeatedly: pretending that can. 915 does not exist.
This lie is found also in Amoris Laetitia. The Pope says that adulterers who FEEL that they are not in the state of mortal may receive absolution and Communion. That’s what in the notorious footnotes.
I see.
Cannon? what in the hell is that? what do the Bible say?
Read 1 Cor 11:28.
