THE TAOISEACH and Celia Larkin should stop going to Holy Communion if they are living in sin, according to a theologian.
Canon law expert Fr Maurice Dooley said if Mr Ahern "is living in concubinage with Celia Larkin, then neither he nor she is entitled to go to communion."
However, no priest can refuse communion to Mr Ahern or Ms Larkin unless he knows with certainty that they are in "a state of grave sin."
