John Paul II issued a reminder that no one who is aware of being in a state of mortal sin can go to Communion.

There's the catch! Secularism, combined with poor catechesis and lackluster homiletics, has eroded the catholic's conscience. And, those who still have a conscience, oftentimes don't believe their sins are grave enough to constitute a mortal sin, regardless of what the church teaches. If one priest takes them to task, they'll look for another who agrees with their position or simply stop going to Mass. Heck, they don't believe that missing Mass is a sin either.

Good for the Holy Father! While the MSM reported on his 'frailities', the pope used his hospital stay to carry out his duties as Shepherd to the flock.

For example, someone practicing contraception according to the rules of the world vs what the church teaches.
