Best Answer

Yes, certainly if they are willing to recieve it. If the efficacy of sacraments were entirely dependent on human understanding of Christ and his relationship with us -then no-one would be qualified to recieve communion.

It is an outreaching of love that may for some people provide a moment of bright clarity and familiarity, and which certainly promotes the personal identity of the individual over the power of their debilitating disease.
