If adulterous relationships are no longer a barrier to the reception of Holy Communion, then homosexual relationships will cease to be a barrier as well. The lavender mafia is driving this train.
The vast majority of bishops around the world give Communion to legislators and others who promote abortion. In the U.S., perhaps ten bishops don’t.
ALL of the Popes during the last forty years have failed to make an issue of this. Benedict spoke the truth about it, but did absolutely nothing.
Since abortionists can receive Communion, the Church has NO valid argument against reception of Communion by adulterers, fornicators, sodomites, murders—ANYBODY.
