Pope Overrules Priest on Giving Communion
[Pope Overrules Priest on Giving
Communion Proclaiming the Gospel
Ministries]
"Pope Francis told a woman "living
in sin" with a divorced man that she
is free to take Holy Communion, in
what appears to be a significant
departure from Catholic teaching.
The woman wrote to the pope to tell
him that she had been refused
Communion by her local priest. The
Pope has established a reputation
for phoning ordinary Catholics out
of the blue in response to letters
they have sent, called her at her
home and told her: "A divorcee who
takes communion is not doing
anything wrong." In a rebuke to the
local priest who refused her the
Sacrament, he added: "There are some
priests who are more papist than the
Pope."
