Question: What does: "Are you void of any impediment to sacramental reception? mean |

Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r), LTh, DD
Dear Marie: Sorry for the delay. The 1917 Catholic Encyclopedia states:
I am not sure what your question involves concerning extraordinary ministers of holy Communion (not Eucharistic Ministers, which are priests), since you do not give a context. Certainly, it is not within the purview or authority for extraordinary ministers to ask about impediments to receiving the Holy Eucharist. But, with that said, the question is asking if there are any "impediments" to receiving the Sacrament (e.g., not in a state of grace, not Catholic or in communion with the Church, or lacking some other requirement necessary to receive whatever Sacrament in question. Hope this helps. God Bless, Footer Notes: This forum is for general questions on the faith.
