EXCUSE ME...?!?
30 Days reports an odd statement:
Church/2
Herranz and communion to remarried divorcees
On the occasion of the presentation of the instruction Dignitatis connubi, on 8 February, Cardinal Julián Herranz, president of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, is reported as stating: «Remarried divorcees are not excommunicated, they are fully in the Church. Receiving communion or not, is also related to the public scandal that their situation can provoke within a specific Christian community. Where there is no such scandal, these Christians can receive communion». The words of the cardinal were reported by La Repubblica the day after the presentation, in an article signed by Orazio La Rocca.
Thanks to a reader for the heads up on this one.
