After a divorce of a catholic, they may still receive holy communion. However, if a catholic gets remarried without an annullment they cannot.
To my knowledge, no Christian denomination restricts communion based on marital status.
In the Catholic Church, if you haven't attempted another marriage without the previous marriage being determined to be invalid and are not living with someone that you are not married to, you can.
When the Pope refused to let King Henry VIII get a divorce, Henry VIII split the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church.
Catholics do not take communion, they receive communion.
That is a redundancy. If you are a Catholic you are in communion with Rome. If you are not in communion with Rome, you are not a Catholic.
To receive Holy Communion, a Catholic must be in the state of grace, that is, have no unconfessed mortal sins on their conscience and be a practicing Catholic. Divorce is not sanctioned by the Church and it is a mortal sin to seek to secure one. However, there are always circumstances to our actions. Unless you receive an annulment, you are still married. Here are some circumstances which would encourage you to continue to go to Communion: * If you sought the divorce but have since repented in confession and have been given absolution. * If you were dragged into the divorce by a spouse who wanted it than your signing is a mere formality. You are guiltless. * if you have confessed and have been absolved but are feeling guilt or unsure, or you begin to doubt your role in the divorce - stop! These are scruples and should be ignored. Go to Communion freely and with confidence. Here are some circumstances where it would no be right to go to Communion (i.e. by going you would be committing a sacrilege)" * If you are divorced, you are still married in the eyes of the Church. You can therefore not date or have another relationship. If you are, it would not be right to go to Communion. * If you secured the divorce and have not confessed it, or do not believe you have to, it would not be right to go to communion. If your specific circumstances are not addressed in the above, then speak with your parish priest and be open and honest that he may guide you. Communion should never be passed by unless you are sure that you are in mortal sin.
Yes, "Communion" should be capitalized when referring to the Christian sacrament of the Eucharist.
Catholic AnswerNo, the Prayer after Holy Communion is in the Missal. The Communion "reflection" is something that the priest is making up.
I believe they practice closed communion.
Communion means reconciliation with one another and with God.So every place can be the place of communion.
Yes. As long as he goes to confession, but he'd have to be baptized, which washes away original sin, but yes he can, but he would have to go to confession before he could receive the Holy Communion.
