I have a friend who monitors the news in Russian who seems ademate that some such policy has been allowed by Pope Francis. I don’t speak Russian so I have no way to cite his source here. Perhaps this allegation is a known quantity?

I don’t think the pope speaks Russian either- I understand he speaks Italian and Spanish- and of course, this report had to be translated from one of those languages into Russian for your Russian speaking friend, and then over into English for us to discuss it.

A lot of different translations to go through to figure out what was actually said by Francis.

If we can find it in the original language we can work it out. That’s why I am wondering if this is heard of. Hopefully we can get the actual quote and see what he really said.

I highly doubt that’s what he said
 
A lot of people seem to be extrapolating from the poorly-explained footnote in Amoris Laetitia (which seemed to open the door to individual cases of divorced and remarried Catholics receiving Communion) to a belief that the Church has now abandoned its moral teachings for an anything-goes philosophy. That’s not actually true, obviously, but there seems to be great confusion and consternation in those Catholics who have followed this issue. That may be where this is coming from.
 
As there is no evidence, go with the Church teaching that this is not allowable.
 
Not our decision to make, but personally it would not hurt for those in uhh the ssm to recieve jesus

Sufficiently poorly explained it seems that various national conferences of Bishops conclude that AL says different (opposing) things.

It would inflict more condemnation on them seeing they’re already in the state of Mortal Sin.

Desecration of the Blessed Sacrament: the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Himself.

No self-professed Catholic in his right mind could dodge the truth of that.

The fake “spirit of Vatican II” notwithstanding!

Almighty God cannot be desecrated.

i’m not so clueless as to think that God in Himself, in His Essence, can be desecrated.

But the Host can be, and is, every time It’s treated sacrilegiously, as in the so-called “Same Sex Marriage” case.
The same goes for anyone who receives Jesus when not in the state of Grace.

Spiritually lethal if not repented of, and physically dangerous as well. Just ask St Paul in his First Letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 11.
 
Sins are personal.

No man can change what is sinful.

The Church defends and explains the truth, it doesn’t make it up.

The Church isn’t going to promote sin.

Getting all up in arms about other people’s sin is simply losing focus on the prayer that is necessary to help folks avoid sin.

It seems repentance would be essential. Which would mean acknowledging their lifestyle is a sin against God, and endevoring with God’s help to leave sin behind and live a holy life. Receiving Jesus without repentance is receiving judgement.
1 corinthians 18:27 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord.[l] 28 A person should examine himself,[m] and so eat the bread and drink the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment[n] on himself. 30 That is why many among you are ill and infirm, and a considerable number are dying. 31 If we discerned ourselves, we would not be under judgment; 32 but since we are judged by [the] Lord, we are being disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.
 
Catechism

1385 To respond to this invitation we must prepare ourselves for so great and so holy a moment. St. Paul urges us to examine our conscience: "Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself."218 Anyone conscious of a grave sin must receive the sacrament of Reconciliation before coming to communion.

Yes, but we should not kick them out when they need our help. Even if they don’t realize that they need help.

The danger isn’t that God would be defiled but that the person would be judged. The gospel of Jesus isn’t about allowing everyone to sin before God without judgement but to enter God’s judgement as a righteous incondemnable person who has an eager and sure hope of eternal fellowship with God. Excusing sin is the devils work. Calling sinners to repentance and justification is God’s work. We don’t want the couple in ssm to be condemned or excluded. We want them to repent and leave their life of sin so they can be included without risk of condemnation.

Yes, but we should not kick them out when they are in need of Christ’s help. Even if they do not realize they need Christ back in their lives.

It is not about kicking someone out. One may attend Holy Mass without receiving Holy Communion.

They can hear the Gospel…and pray…and hopefully in time find true life in Christ.
