[Cathoholic]

From Pope Francis (Minor formatting changes and emphasis mine) . . .

. . . .I cordially greet Polish pilgrims. In the “Our Father”, in saying to the Lord: “Give us this day our daily bread”, we ask not only for food for the body, but also the gift of the Eucharistic Bread, nourishment of the soul.

We know that one who has committed a serious sin should not approach Holy Communion without having first obtained absolution in the sacrament of Reconciliation. . . .

Thank you Holy Father.

God bless you Pope Francis.

That’s perennial Church teaching…

Of course Pope Francis believes this. When has he ever indicated otherwise?

Spyridon. I’m not sure I understand your question.

I am interested in catechesis and liturgy.

I shared catechetical and liturgical teaching from the Holy Father. I linked to it from the Vatican website.

Did I intimate here or anywhere else that Pope Francis DOESN’T believe this? (“Of course Pope Francis believes this.”)

Did I suggest Pope Francis has “ever indicated otherwise?”
(“When has he ever indicated otherwise?”)

Please clarify and thanks in advance.

I think Spyidon’s point was your post sounded as if it were ‘hot news’, OP.

May the Lord bless the Holy Father.

Maybe that’s it? I don’t know.

I didn’t post it in “news” but perhaps you are right.

Spyidon?

I just thought this is a good reminder of perennial Catholic teaching. The Holy Father thought it was worth re-affirming, so I thought I would do so too.
