Are you saying that the Eucharist is rightly meant to be distributed to those who have separated themselves from Christ by their practice?

That’s an interesting question: I think it depends on whether they repent of it or not, as well as what they intended. It isn’t what goes into a man’s mouth that is unclean, but what is in his heart. And yet no one can undone what has been done. Like divorce and remarriage... That said, I am neither.

It seems to me that sinners would most benefit from the Body and Blood of Christ. Jesus did, after all, hang out with sinners on occasion...

Who does not set themselves apart from Christ by their practice? if any can go through a day without doing so, He needn't have died on the Cross. Then again, it is always nice to be able to compare oneself to another and decide that the other is really so much less worthy than oneself - gives one a smug sense of spiritual superiority.
