Fr. Nnamdi Moneme: Cultivating a Docile Heart at Advent

US Bishops Discuss Communion Denial in Light of Biden Incident

By Lauretta Brown, EWTN News - Edward Peters, a professor of canon law at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit, wrote following the incident that “Canon 916 requires a believer not to approach for Holy Communion with a guilty conscience (a norm that, when observed correctly, prevents most problems in this area)” and that “Canon 915 positively requires ministers of Holy Communion, especially pastors, to withhold the sacrament from Catholics ‘obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin.’”
