Christ is risen!

with Canon 915, wherein a minister who is aware of an individual’s obstinate persistence in manifest grave sin must not admit such person to the Eucharist

As has been done in Eastern Orthodox practice all along.


Indeed He is risen!

John Kerry, as a pro-abortion maniac, is so disgusting he should be physically thrown out of the Catholic Church.

Their stance against pro-abortion Catholic politicians receiving the Eucharist is completely justified. In brief, their decisions are 1) made in the realm of sacramental discipline, not penal law; 2) meant to prevent serious scandal to the faithful, curb sacrilegious reception of Communion, and impress upon certain persons the gravity of their deeds; 3) binding on all ministers of the Eucharist in their jurisdictions; 4) illustrative for others who, someday, as will we all, have to account to Jesus for what they did with His Precious Body and Blood. I need hardly add that all that is necessary to secure one’s readmission to the Eucharist would be confession and firm purpose of amendment.
Nicely summarized.

Ed Peters guests on Catholic Answers monthly. I'd like to hear him speak about this matter.
