COMMUNION FOR THE DIVORCED AND REMARRIED?
Keywords:
COMMUNION, DIVORCED, REMARRIEDAbstract
In what seems like a final “testament” Cardinal Martini offered
three vital elements in the renewal of tired old Church of Europe:
Conversion, the Word of God and the Sacraments. Speaking of the
Sacraments he clothed his words in a vivid example:
A woman, for instance, is abandoned by her husband and finds a new
companion, who takes care of her and her three children. This second
love succeeds. If this family is discriminated against, not only is the
mother cut out [from the Church] but also her children. If parents feel
that they’re outside the Church, and don’t feel its support, the Church
will lose the future generation.
