“everything allowed, everything “on demand” like an entitlement or a public utility, nothing required”

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren’t we entitled to the Sacraments, bars thereto aside.

"Correct me if I am wrong, but aren’t we entitled to the Sacraments, bars thereto aside."

Yes, generally; but you are not allowed to baptize an infant if the parents or guardians are not going to raise him as a Catholic Christian; and especially if the parents or guardians are using this as a political statement. There has to be correct intent. That's why the Archbishop in Minneapolis won't distribute Holy Communion to those people with the Rainbow Sashes.

I'd love to invite a Canon Lawyer into this discussion to clarify things, because my knowledge is admittedly scanty. Any Canon Lawyers here? Arthur, would you serve? (You'll have to go back a couple of posts to get context.)
