**its ban on giving communion to divorcees who remarry without getting an annulment.**
I think this will stay in place. As long as a divorced person does NOT remarry they can receive Holy Communion!
Yes, but this is so commonly misunderstood, isn't it? I think the title of the thread is a little misleading in that way... when I saw it, I thought, divorcees already can receive communion, as long as they aren't remarried, so what's the big change? It surprises me how many people will say one who is divorced is in violation of Catholic teaching, rather than one who is divorced and remarried (without an annulment). I agree with you that this is unlikely to change. If this change is made, then what about Catholics who marry outside the church for other reasons? Would they be able to receive communion as well? I just don't see the Church going this route.
No thinking necessary -it will stay in place! It can not be changed one iota...
Please give me a simpletons explanation on how an annulment can be given and that person then is no longer considered divorced...I'm having a hard time following that...I'm not seeking a link, just a simple basic answer...thanks..
