Revisionist Claim: "The Real Revolution Happened Under John Paul II”

Talking to cruxnow.com Paglia claimed that before John Paul II's Familiaris Consortio (1981) “it wasn’t that the divorced and remarried just couldn’t get Communion, it was they were practically excommunicated and expelled.” And: “They were outsiders. After John Paul, everybody was inside the house”. Paglia even calls Francis “the best interpreter of John Paul II”.
In reality, Familiaris Consortio 84 unambiguously reaffirms the Catholic teaching based upon Sacred Scripture that divorced and remarried persons are not admitted to receive Holy Communion. The reason: According to the Gospel, divorced and remarried persons live in mortal sin. Receiving the Eucharist in the state of mortal sin is another mortal sin.
