"The minister of Holy Communion MUST refuse to distribute it" [5] when warning and counsel given to the manifest sinner "have not had their effect."

The operative word there is "must." How could that be ambiguous? How could McCarrick come up with his waffling account of this? Did he miss the classes on grammar at Fordham? Did they teach what "imperative mood" means?

How do men who are cognitively unqualified to teach Latin One, Freshman English, or Introductory Logic manage to end up as cardinals and bishops of the church?

Is this how the Lavender Mafia works?

Excellent post!

Barbara Kralis has performed a bloodless dissection of the facts. McCarrick must be writhing in his chair! When is the last time the media had so boldly delved into the workings of church memorandum, and extracted the salient facts? Kudos to Barbara Kralis, for scoring decisevely in her reporting on this topic.

You must ICELize it...then it will read "may."

"The question for us is not simply whether denial of Communion is possible, but whether it is pastorally wise and prudent," - Cardinal McCarrick

Rev 3:16
But because thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth.

Clever. A red suit, pitchfork, horns, and a tail might be more in sync with the McCarrick's style.

And so this means the priest as well as the extraordinary minister?

That's the way it reads, but I betcha we still need a written directive from the Bishop.

You should have one. I can only say what will happen in my parish, and that is that nobody will be refused unless the pastor directs them to refuse, and nobody, but nobody, will make that decision on their own.
