I have been divorced and remarried and I do not go to communion.
1 Cor 11
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.
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.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.
31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
Not to be mean to you, but some day your old spouse will die, may it be before you. If not, see you at the table in heaven. :)
I am divorced but chose not to remarry. I knew I was making a mistake when I married but did it all the same. I took vows in the presence of God and continue to respect those vows. Several catholic priests, knowing the circumstances behind the divorce, recommended an annulment. I chose to follow my own conscience.
That has nothing to do with divorce. In the early church, people were coming to the dinners merely trying to get fed and get drunk.
