I don't see any theological reason not to communicate young children, only a practical one (very little ones may spit it out).
Even in the Latin church, babies in danger of death may be given Viaticum.
I didn’t say that other churches Communion wasn’t holy and special. That being said, Catholics view the Body and Blood of Christ very differently than many other Christian religions. For example... Penance, First Holy Communion and Confirmation has to be age appropriate. The child has to be aware of the full undertaking, responsibility and sacredness of the Sacrament. Sorry if you are offended by what I wrote. Perhaps if the writer of the article is really upset about the Church’s stance... she can convert to another religion. IMHO.
