All sinners, the divorced and remarried, that is living a “married life” and any other grave sinners, for example those guilty of the Seven Deadly Sins, should certainly go to Mass and pray for their Redemption.<br /><br />But they must not receive Holy Communion without Confession and a firm purpose of amendment.<br /><br />After all we are required to receive Holy Communion once a year, yes that’s it, only once a year. The desire of the divorced and remarried has, mostly, little to do with receiving the Body and Blood of Christ and a lot to do with receiving social acceptance.

They've repeatedly been shown to have no reasonable arguments and more or less exploit the emotions of the crowd by chanting key words like "pastoral" and "mercy". Today the media talking points are all about "Communion for the divorced" as if this wasn't already a settled matter and has anything to do with the Synod.<br /><br />When I was still an undergrad at the Catholic University of America, a certain lady in one of my theology classes opined to our professor that the Church was still in the dark ages because she disallowed divorce even in the case of spousal abuse. The professor did nothing to correct this assumption--I had to carefully explain to her in private, after class, about her fundamental error. If many graduate accredited Catholic schools believing such nonsense, what hope hath the world?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167443887449854135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-36215740840226374102014-09-26T16:42:36.018+01:002014-09-26T16:42:36.018+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167443887449854135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-75354747915396165812014-09-26T16:01:34.537+01:002014-09-26T16:01:34.537+01:00'She' - it is Cristina Odone I'm talki...'She' - it is Cristina Odone I'm talking about, not me!Joseph Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587987442560784792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-82982732010221749032014-09-26T15:25:28.204+01:002014-09-26T15:25:28.204+01:00This Odone person does sound like she has muddled ...This Odone person does sound like she has muddled Catholic teaching. <br /><br />If I may ask, something not too important but had me confused was the line "As someone who has written about the issue a good few times, been involved personally as the *wife* ..........."<br /><br />Are you Dr. Shaw or someone else :O?T-C-https://www.blogger.com/profile/08263638091427859851noreply@blogger.com
