Communion and the divorced
by Father Terrence P. Ryan, CSP

Talk about confusion! The Vatican says that the Diocese of Freiburg, Germany, would confuse people if they began to give Communion to the divorced. Well this is REALLY confusing. There is no law in the church that refuses Communion to the divorced. They can receive Communion. Divorce does not get you thrown out of the church in any way, shape or form. I hope that the media gets this right or else the divorced who are going to Communion might wonder if the rules got changed.
