27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
Do i believe every thing Paul says?
I guess i will until some one shows me where he does not know what he is talking about.
Paul says each man must examine himself, but he doesn’t say that no one else is to make any judgment.
Canon 916 requires the communicant to examine himself.
Canon 915 says that in the case of those who obstinately persist in situations of manifest grave sin—i.e., those whose reception of Communion will cause grave scandal—Communion must be denied.
The reason for the denial of Communion is twofold: to prevent profanation of the sacrament, and to prevent grave scandal.
The ongoing grave scandal is that when pro-abortion Catholics are given Communion, the priests and bishops are declaring to the whole Church: “These people are not committing any sin by promoting abortion.” Or, the priests and bishops of the Church are saying: “Yes, these are public, grave sinners, but we don’t care—because they control government money.”
This issue, which is eating the heart out of the Church around the world, has not penetrated the Pope’s consciousness.
