Two points:
Clerics of their “own denomination” do not and can not administer valid Holy Communion.
Everybody has an impending death, and each day we are closer to it.
Understood. The problem seems to be inside the RC church (whether and how non-Catholic clerics perform whatever prayers or sacraments — is not the immediate focus of the article, at least). But yes, there are massive internal problems in other faith communities these days — quite similar too, in the needless and heedless undercutting of received teachings, etc. the similarities of these problems is often quite striking -/ and may be afford us a valuable learning opportunity. For just one thing, it’s the more faithfully - oriented churches and synagogues that are flourishing, growing — and NOT so much the leftist progtessive social-justice-activist and watered- down ( neutered) ones. Imho, this is a most favorable signal that most people can at least recognize — and are drawn to—,a sincere aplroach to faith. The more diluted and off- beat the message, the less people fibd of any real value in it —and they vote with their feet - right out the door. I know a family that is driving about 40 miles to attend a more traditional church, passing by maybe a dozen closer but diluted-down ones (that they find a “waste of time”) Some change or adaptation has always occurred ( a number of church doctrines and traditions reflect this fact(, and some may be necessary or even sometimes helpful, but the massive subversion of core teachings is definitely a serious problem
In other words, I see a lot of evil
“Infiltrated” into the Church ( and the other houses of worship , other faith communities). Some clerics proposing changes appear well- intentioned, whether we agree with any of their ideas or not. Fine on that. But others look to me like they’re deliberately trying to destroy things — have evil motivations. Somehow, they must be removed , excommunicated, whatever. Imho
