No Communion for Adulterers - President of Spanish Bishops Defies 'Amoris Laetitia'
One cannot receive Communion “when a marital relationship has broken down and those who were part of that marriage are living in a new conjugal relationship,” said Archbishop Luis Argüello of Valladolid, Spain, president of the Spanish Bishops' Conference, in a pastoral message reported by EFE (June 1).
Those living in a new conjugal relationship after the breakdown of a valid marriage must understand that the rupture of the Sacrament of Marriage “prevents them from receiving Eucharistic Communion.”
“They may participate in the celebration, as well as in the life of the Church in many ways, but receiving Holy Communion is not possible,” Archbishop Argüello said.
He also referred to other situations incompatible with receiving Communion, including “a sinful relationship” and “publicly defending positions contrary to Christian morality.”

Spanish bishops’ president reaffirms Communion ban for divorced, ‘remarried’ Catholics
Tackling the system not a cure why is Pope allowed to preach error ?
Ever since the battle against birth control the church been in a state of diabolical disorientation on steroids.
These statements, which should come from the mouths of every priest and bishop, will be a death sentence; Prevost and Bergoglio do not forgive their traitors.
Isn’t this the same Bishop from Spain who approved and defended the Vatican’s so-called “Blessing of Same Sex Couples “ declaration? You cannot serve two masters.
This is traditional Catholic morality. May God reward you, Archbishop Arguello for your courage.
Yes, it’s the right thing to do..although we realize it’s very difficult for the parents and children in such relationship breakdowns…but there has to be some rules or we fall into “whatever,” or “if it feels good, just do it!”That hasn’t worked thus far so can we try to do the right again!
So let's think about this for a moment. When a Catholic bishop declares that a traditional teaching of the Church will be followed it is a cause for celebration! Wow! Is this world in trouble.
