[Catholic Caucus] No Communion for Adulterers - President of Spanish Bishops Defies 'Amoris Laetitia'

One cannot receive Communion “when a marital relationship has broken down and those who were part of that marriage are living in a new conjugal relationship,” said Archbishop Luis Argüello of Valladolid, Spain, president of the Spanish Bishops' Conference, in a pastoral message reported by EFE (June 1).

Those living in a new conjugal relationship after the breakdown of a valid marriage must understand that the rupture of the Sacrament of Marriage “prevents them from receiving Eucharistic Communion.”

“They may participate in the celebration, as well as in the life of the Church in many ways, but receiving Holy Communion is not possible,” Archbishop Argüello said.

He also referred to other situations incompatible with receiving Communion, including “a sinful relationship” and “publicly defending positions contrary to Christian morality.”
