Yes I have seen this more than once.
Most that I have seen that are mentally challenged are very reverent, an example for the rest of us.

Canon Law is not divine law.Canon Law for the Latin Church:
Can. 913 §1. The administration of the Most Holy Eucharist to children requires that they have sufficient knowledge and careful preparation so that they understand the mystery of Christ according to their capacity and are able to receive the body of Christ with faith and devotion.
§2. The Most Holy Eucharist, however, can be administered to children in danger of death if they can distinguish the body of Christ from ordinary food and receive communion reverently.
Can. 914 It is primarily the duty of parents and those who take the place of parents, as well as the duty of pastors, to take care that children who have reached the use of reason are prepared properly and, after they have made sacramental confession, are refreshed with this divine food as soon as possible. It is for the pastor to exercise vigilance so that children who have not attained the use of reason or whom he judges are not sufficiently disposed do not approach holy communion.

Canon law is divine law because canon law comes from the Church which was founded by Christ, and is inspired by the Holy Spirit. Thus it is indeed divine. also the Pope is infallible meaning he cannot err on matters regarding the Faith because he too is guided by the Spirit, meaning that whatever he says must be true because the Holy Spirit cannot deceive

No it is not.Canon law is divine law because canon law comes from the Church which was founded by Christ, and is inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Canon law is the law of the earthly Church. It can be changed by Pope at his whim.
Divine law is handed by God. Only God can change it and guess what, God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. So don’t expect any changes.

So then what you are saying is the pope may decree that things such as contraception are actually ok since it is only canon law that says.contraception is wrong? And since he has authority to change Canon law as he wishes? That would mean also God may or may not be against contraceptives since Canon law is created by the earthly church only n that it can b chand at any time as the pope whims. I’m not trying to fight I’m just curious. I’m still learning my faith.
