No the canon you quote does not say that does it?
Obviously public “unworthiness” is another matter. Nor does this seem to intrinsically involve sacrilege…especially as permission can be given by a priest under certain circumstances. And illicitness is still not the same as sacrilege in any case.
- What is at issue is licitness before the Catholic Church not worthiness before God. That is your projection onto the canon.
- Even the licitness is re the actions of Catholic ministers or Catholic recipients…not other baptised Christians.
- Even then exceptions are clearly observed.
The original point of discussion was wild accusations of sacrilege and desecration based on personal unworthiness and contumacy. That is somewhat ridiculous.Going to Confession or being in a state of grace is not the only issue here
