I don’t understand how partaking in communion can be withheld for divorce, but actively supporting homosexuality and abortion is A-OK!
Hypocritical to the max and 100% un-Christ-like.

If you hold public views favoring either of those things you have definitely excluded yourself, no matter if you are protestant of catholic. Privately, if you hold those views you are eating and drinking judgment upon yourself. Personally, I have not taken communion a few times because I had some things to work through.

Dear vpintheak,

Well, in point of fact, many folks who support abortion and homosexual activities would agree with you. That was sort of the subtext of the late synod - liberals wishing to liberalize even more of the practice of the laity.

From my perspective, the solution isn't to introduce further scandalous practice by permitting the divorced-and-remarried to receive communion, but rather to tighten things up and ban from the sacraments (other than sacramental confession to renounce these evils) those who publicly endorse legal abortion and inanities like homosexual "marriage."

Partaking in Communion is not withheld for divorce; it is withheld for re-marriage if the other "prior" spouse is still alive.

Remember that line "'till death do us part"?

it is not withheld for divorce, it is for divorce AND REMARRIAGE. Homosexuality if fine as long as you do not actively live a homosexual lifestyle...abortion is never O.K. except to save the life of the mother.
