"No EEM should take it upon himself or herself to refuse the Eucharist to anybody. If a pastor directs them to, they should follow his direction." So in the brave new world of Deacon Sinkspur, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are not allowed to have a conscience? If their pastors instruct them to facilitate immoral communions, they must blindly obey?

Okay, here's an easy answer! As per Sacramentum Concilium, let's just NOT have EME's.

Solves the problem AND soothes consciences in one easy step! (and for a change we would be IN ACCORDANCE with the spirit of a Vatican Document).

Stunning in its simplicity, I know. Hold the applause!

Sacramentum Concilium leaves it up to the individual bishops; SC does not forbid the use of EEMs.
