Perhaps you are unaware of this.

Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM


Dear Charlie:

I am not sure what you want me to see in this document. I only glanced at it, but it does not appear to violate Church teaching. But then again, I only glanced at it.

When referring to documents one needs to post what it is they are really asking about since I rarely have the time to read these references carefully. (The same thing goes for websites. I simply do not have the time to browse through websites to review them, thus a question needs to be specific and include the specific page in quesition found on the website).

In glancing through the document posted I noticed something about non-Catholics participating in the Eucharist, but what I read was consistent with Canon Law. According to Canon Law there are special circumstances where non-Catholic baptized Christians can receive not only the Eucharist, but even Confession and Anointing of the Sick.

This document seemed to be speaking to those special circumstances when discussing non-Catholic participation in the Sacraments.

If this is not the case, if I missed something in teh document, please post the exact quotes from the document that may be in error so I can more closely look at it.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
