The piece says remarried/divorced people may receive Communion "under certain limited circumstances after they discuss the matter with their priest".
"Even then the couple most likely will have to receive Communion in private so as not to cause conflict or confusion among the rest of the congregation."
But isn't it so counter-cultural. What if the priest has his 'own ideas' as many indeed have? What if he is odd, as many are?
And receiving Communion 'in private'. Hints of of so much that has caused Christians such pain. Also, patronising.
'Communion in private' - an oxymoron?
