It's interesting that they quote paragraph 1400 from the CCC, but fail to quote 1401 (which references 1983 Canon Law):

1401 When, in the Ordinary's judgment, a grave necessity arises, Catholic ministers may give the sacraments of Eucharist, Penance, and Anointing of the Sick to other Christians not in full communion with the Catholic Church, who ask for them of their own will, provided they give evidence of holding the Catholic faith regarding these sacraments and possess the required dispositions.

Since Vatican II, non-Catholics already receive communion without conversion....something previously condemned by the Catholic Church.

Francis could care less about Catholic doctrine. He could care less if protestants, muslims, hindu, buddist, all came up for Holy Communion. He DOES NOT CARE. This man will go down in history as the absolute worst pope in the last 1,000 years. He takes offense if someone calls him pope.

Adds to my suspicions that Consecration in a post- Vatican II liturgy may not be valid. Certainly would solve the "those who shouldn't be getting the Holy Eucharist" problem.
