Ted Kennedy didn’t need to wait in line. He had a cellar full of wine back home.
But democrat politicians that pray at the alter of abortion are good to go!!!
So if I am divorced, then remarried, and then divorced again, am I permitted communion?
It used to be that if you were divorced, remarried, you could receive communion, if you agreed to live with your second spouse as ‘brother and sister’.
So divorced Catholics receive no forgiveness but the Pelosi Catholics can receive Communion as they worship at the altar of abortion?
Being divorced and remarried equals living in continual adultery = going to hell when you die. Have to go back and find your first spouse. I don’t think God sees it that way.....
Interesting topic for me. I divorced nearly 30 years ago. She was Catholic, me, not so much. I wasn’t going to any church or part of any organized religion.
Now, in order for me to be baptized, and my new bride to resume communion, I have to ensure my ex and I are properly annulled, and I cannot find her.
Instead of conjecture regarding the state of Pelosi’s, Biden’s, and others’ souls, I would suggest everyone pray for them.
Receiving the Eucharist while endorsing error and creating scandal reflects an arrogance beyond any healing except Divine.
Life is short. Eternity is forever. I would hate to see anyone suffer hell eternally. It is also our duty to pray for these people.
You can always tell a non-Catholic article from a Catholic one: “taking communion”. Catholics don’t take communion, they receive communion.
I’m glad to see this support for the sanctity of marriage. This is the direction all should go.
I always enjoy these type of topics on freerepublic. “Conservative” protestants always come here and complain about the Church’s stance on divorce...it just brings a smile to my face.
Of course Nancy Pelousey and Joe Biden can still take communion. Its not the same if you push abortion.
Pope Benedict XVI? Pope John XXIII? Pope Leo?
Bingo
I wonder if there are any divorced Catholics who can't obtain an annulment. My SIL is seriously considering divorcing my BIL. She said without hesitation or a shadow of a doubt that she would get an annulment. She's very devout - daily Mass, Bible study, etc. She's also been married 25+ years and has three kids. 0.o
