Thats what bothers me about this directive, in many Parishes I visit, most of the distribution of the Eucharist is done by the EEMs. A pastor is not going to notice, or take notice, or even if they did notice have a chance to direct an EEM to deny reception.
IMHO, this should have been a more forceful statement, or it is useless. The left is happy to meddle in the affairs of the Dioceses of the Church in America. I understand Ratzinger taking the high road, but I don't have to like it.

You could count on one hand the number of priests who will refuse the Eucharist to a parishioner. Even those who do must make certain they are not making public something that is only known by them in the internal forum.
