“How can a divorced and remarried adulterer remain in an adulterous relationship with no resolve to end it, yet be given Holy Communion while in a state of unrepentant mortal sin? “

I’m not divorced and never will be... I’ve been married for 47 years to the same woman.

Committing adultery is of course a sin... But not any more so than working on the Sunday. Or using the Lord’s name in vein, or any of the other commandments.

You don’t think murder is a graver sin that a third grader cheating on a math test?

Two people show-up at the Pearly Gates.

One of them, when asked by their boss “What time did you get to work this morning”, replies “Eight o’clock”, when, in actuality, it was 8:02.

The other lied under oath at a criminal trial, resulting in the wrongful conviction and execution of an innocent person.

Do you claim those two will be judged equal in their transgressions?
