More to what? I share something that happened to tens of thousands of divorced families across America in the early 1960's and you think there is more to it?
Divorced families were told across America, indeed across the world, do not receive the sacrament.
What is your agenda?
Truth is bashing.
Head in the sand, circle the wagons, is a good Catholic.
You never said anything about divorce. So basically the priest told you mother she couldn't go to communion and you've been attacking the Church ever since? And what does JFK have to do with it?
It is only when a divorced person chooses to remarry that they cannot receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist.
Divorced Catholics can receive the Sacraments as long as they don't remarry!
You were given faulty information. Campion has it right in #50.
Your story makes little sense. Your father abandoning your mother and you kids was sinful and may well have justified him being refused the Eucharist unless and until he repented and regularized his situation. If the priest KNEW your mother to be somehow responsible for your father leaving, maybe that would justify his telling her the same. Under no set of circumstances could that order be binding or even applicable to the children of the marriage. I think that is why Salvation believes that there is more to the story and so do I. What possible agenda could anyone have in questioning whether there were not more facts than were posted? If you were very young at the time, you may have misunderstood what was going on.
