  • The Denial of Holy Communion Due to Obstinate Perseverance in Manifest Grave Sin
    THE DENIAL OF HOLY COMMUNION DUE TO OBSTINATE PERSEVERANCE IN MANIFEST GRAVE SIN : THE APPLICATION OF C. 915 IN THE AMERICAN CONTEXT by Laura MORRISON A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Canon Law Saint Paul University, Ottawa, Canada, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Canon Law Saint Paul University © Laura Morrison, Ottawa, Canada 2015 ABSTRACT The pastoral interpretation and application of the clause of c. 915 which says those who are obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communions, as applied to persons in irregular marriages and politicians that espouse “pro- choice” platforms, is the focus of this study. A tremendous amount of confusion and alienation on the part of the faithful occurs in relation to the application of the pertinent clause in parishes and dioceses throughout the United States, due to the words used in the norm and an inconsistent application of them. The approaches within the Church are disparate. Some are told by their pastors that they simply must face the consequences of the choices they have made and not present themselves for Communion until their situation is corrected. Others are never approached about the issue. Few, though, are provided with an explanation of the law and an opportunity to discuss their personal circumstances in relation to it, in any meaningful way; that is, with an opportunity to make informed decisions about how to proceed in their lives. Most people to whom the law of c. 915 is applicable were not sufficiently catechized to know they could be denied Holy Communion if they divorced and civilly remarried or ran on a particular political party platform.

  • Pastoral Manual Are Offered to Assist Them in Serving the Faithful
    SECTION I SACRAMENTS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES Priests, deacons and pastoral ministers of the Diocese of Rockville Centre serve parishes and institutions through sacramental ministries. The following sections of the Pastoral Manual are offered to assist them in serving the faithful. They are a general guide and are not meant to be exhaustive in nature. The disciplines of the universal Church and the specific policies of the Diocese of Rockville Centre are summarized below. Note that this section is preceded by a table of contents. The general index at the end of the Pastoral Manual may also be helpful. For a more complete treatment of these sacraments, reference should be made to the 1983 Code of Canon Law which contains legislation for the universal Church; the rite for each sacrament also explains the details of sacramental celebration.
