What are you gonna do about it, short of making everyone sign an affidavit that they've been to confession within a time that you deem appropriate?

As usual, you miss the point by about 1000 yards. What a shock.

My point has nothing to do with who *I* feel should receive Communion or not. It's that there's a very infinitesmal chance that everyone who receives Communion is worthy to receive it at that time. It's sacrilege to receive Communion when you're not in a state of grace.

I mean, really, this is basic Church doctrine since like, New Testament times.

It dissappoints me that Catholics are either so ignorant of their religion to not know, or so brazen and arrogant as not to care what the rules are for the holiest Sacrament we have.

And btw, no one is making threats, demanding affadavits, or brow beating anyone, as you stated throuh your nominally asanine and hysterical hyperbole.

As a Deacon, I thought you might be concerned for the souls of people profaning the Sacrament.

You have no solution,just nasty, rude, buffoonish replies.

Catechesis is the only way to turn things around.

That, and to stop acting as if every little thing people do puts them in danger of losing their souls.
