***Morally speaking, while not necessarily a candidate for beatification, the eucharistic minister should be a devout Catholic in good standing. ***

I don't know about you, but I can think of quite a lot of EM's that do not fit the above description. I know of one in particular who is divorced and remarried outside of the Church and was allowed to become a Eucharistic Minister!!!

My personal feelings is that there are way too many of them. I have never and will never receive Our Lord from one of them, even if it means standing in line longer or cutting across pews to get to the Priest!!!

I would bring this up with the priest. Until this person gets and annullment she/he should be out of the rotation.

A remarried Catholic without an annullment cannot receive the Eucharist!
