That’s why it should be left to the people and their conscience.

A rightly informed conscience accepts the sacramental indissoluble nature of a properly contracted Christian marriage. I personally know a man who cheated on and left his blameless wife and children, contracted a couple of phony marriages, and is in one now, and attempted to get an annulment. He was denied. This was the correct decision. The man does not need yet need Communion, he needs contrition, amendment of way of life (including not living the lie that he is in a third marriage), confession, and THEN Communion.

Why stop at people who are divorced and have attempted to remarry illicitly? If Adam and Steve think they're "married" to each other, shouldn't they be able to receive communion, too?

(/s for those who need it)

In other words, anyone should be allowed to do whatever he wants to do without consequences - as long as he really "feels" in his "heart" that it is OK.

And every priest should be forced to bow to his whim.

Hmm . . .
