Regarding: "Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio, the president of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, said remarried people can be admitted to the sacraments of reconciliation and the Eucharist when they have a sincere desire to change their marital situation but cannot without causing harm, particularly to their children."
- 'but cannot without causing harm' is the money quote; harm to themselves as a couple, as individuals, and as people responsible for others.
- Always, the Eucharist is food and medicine, not for the pure but for those who need it. The need for it exist always for sinners; we are all sinners. The Eucharist, like Jesus, engages with anyone who turns to God's love and mercy.
