Can Someone Be Denied Holy Communion? 

Father Mark Goring is superb as well!

@@jay_day439 I think you mean Fr. Mark Goring? I think Fr. Mark also speaks from the heart, though in my view he tends to be in error more often (sometimes allowing conservatism to mistakenly take the place of actual Catholic teaching). Still, Fr. Mark is humble and doesn't pretend to know everything, and says so - which makes him so great.

@@angelicdoctor8016 Yes, :) father Mark Goring. He tends to follow conservatism? Generally speaking, Catholicism and conservatism go hand in hand. Today’s Democrat ideologies aren’t lined with what we Catholics believe in; they’re more aligned with communism which is the biggest promotor of atheism. So, as a Catholic, it makes me happy that someone like Father Goring is willing to speak up to what’s wrong. Yes, he’s humble and follows Gods way, the only way.

And compassion!

@@jay_day439 I think it's a mistake to conflate conservatism with Catholicism, since the teaching of the Church doesn't do that. We need to stick with the language of the Church, right?

Jesus said, "Ask and you shall receive," which is my own testimony. That is, raised by an atheist, I heard the gospel for the first time at age 17 through a Catholic movie about Jesus. Shortly thereafter, I walked onto the lawn of a church on night, looked up at the steeple, and prayed my first prayer, "Is there Jesus? I would like to meet Him!" When I met Christ, all heaven filled my soul and it felt like my heart was made out of gold. I have been great friends with Christ ever since. Conversely, Catholics teach that baptism and communion are necessary for salvation - all with no assurance of salvation. That said, in 45 years, I have not had even one second of doubt that I know the Lord and am bound for heaven - not even for a second. The Apostle Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)." Yet, Catholics teach, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized, and partakes of communion might be saved." Which is the true gospel? Remember, Paul wrote that whoever preaches a different gospel should be accursed. Christ died on a Cross so that, just by asking, we can know God. Adding any other condition to being saved is to pollute the pure beauty of the gospel. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

Whose consecrated celibate ministers of the sacred body and blood are purported presumed falsely by grooming of psychologically and or emotionally vulnerable family members to have a "higher vocation" (TTMHS, PCF, 1995, 35; cf. SV, 1954, 24; Vat 2, OT, 1965, 10; FC, 1981, 16; opinion of St Paul at 1Cor7:25-34) status than male female married couples?

@Dolores Ascona; Though I am a devout Christian, I have reservations about emphasizing Jesus Christ, my savior's body and blood during Eucharist.

Hi. Thanks for writing. You wrote, "all Christians want and would benefit from a Catholic Church that proclaims the Truth of God fearlessly." My concern is that Catholics teach that a person must be baptized Catholic and receive Catholic communion in order to be saved - all without any assurance of salvation. However, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)." Is that not a different gospel? Did Paul not say, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed"? In fact, it becomes painfully obvious that Catholics preach a different gospel when their teachings are put in the form of Romans 10.13, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic communion might be saved." I hope that you will have a genuine encounter with Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

@@kenshiloh Hi Ken, I don't know where you got that. The Church actually teaches that anyone can be saved. Please read the Catechism of the Catholic Church so you do not spread falsehoods. People will believe them and perpetuate hatred for the Church.

​@@maryweisenbacher1034 Hi. In Catechism 1257, it says that baptism is necessary for salvation. Yet, Christ said, "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him." You will have to decide: will the Father give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him or should I believe the Catholic church, that asking is not enough, that a person must be baptized? Remember, Jesus rebuked the religious leaders of His day, that taught the traditions of man rather than the Word of God. He said, "Shall the blind lead the blind? I tell you that both will fall into a pit." Is that your fate? Will you follow these blind guides, these white-washed tombstones? He said, "Why do you call Me 'Lord,' yet not do what I say?"

@@maryweisenbacher1034 lol, spreading falsehoods, wow, so has every other person who censored the bible before you read it lol

@@kenshiloh Aren't we supposed to do as Jesus did? Jesus himself was baptized. And yes, Jesus said "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him." The Holy Spirit was present at Jesus' baptism. So asking is not enough...it is following through and doing the will of the Father. The Holy Spirit comes to you, but you need to make the first step. Jesus wants us to follow Him and not man. So it is not enough to ask. You have to do what he says and does. Precisely that's why He says "Why do you call me Lord, yet not do what I say?" Jesus Christ is the light of the world. He is also the way.

Amen

I had the same feeling but your comment is making me press play 🙏🏾

@@Bdfhvj yes, him and Father Altman 🙏🏼

C'mon. He's Fr Mike, one of the most genuine Catholics I know.

Same!

Nope, I never had a doubt. He's the softest tough guy priest I have ever seen. That's what makes him so unique.

It is not mandatory to receive communion at mass. If you know you are in sin, then you would also know that you must go to confession first before receiving. Even young children are taught that at an early age.

Welcome to the family! Let us know how it goes!

May our Lord bless you as you seek Him.

We need an update! Have you been officially brought into the church?! Congratulations! We can’t wait to celebrate you receiving the sacraments and God’s Grace and mercy through them!

Best Wishes To You. You will be Happy You Chose To be Closer with Jesus.

Welcome Home! God Bless

Many of the Democrats don't have any guilt over this. In fact they celebrate it. That is sick and sinful. I can understand finding yourself pregnant and alone. I have no tolerance anyone CELEBRATING ending a human life.

I did the same Thank you father May God bless you for your strength and truth and the way you are leading us to heaven

@@run4cmt what democrats are celebrating ending a human life?

I remember this woman dancing on the street with her fellow pro-abortion women. She said an unborn baby is not human. I remember her exact words because I saw the news day after I lost my baby. It took every ounce of my strength to ignore her.

Its not just a political subject or personal. Making a law that give license to kill the unborn is intrinsic evil. 42 mil babies were killed each years and you say it just a rather political subject. Your choice of words are slippery.

Hi. Thanks for sharing. About 8 years ago, I had chronic depression; it was quite severe! In fact, I did not see how I could possibly live anymore, so great was my anguish of soul. Yet, the Bible says that we are to be 'transformed by the renewing of your mind." That is, my depression stemmed from what I was telling myself: I would lose my job, my wife, and my kids. So, gradually, I started replacing sinful, doubt-filled thoughts with the Word of God. For example, I was absolutely terrified at going into work each day. So, in the parking lot before work, I would read parts of the Bible directly related to my overwhelming fear and depression. For example, "God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power love and a sound mind (I2Tim 1.7)." Here's another that I really like, as I have struggled over what people think of me, "The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? The Lord is with me, my help in times of trouble (Psalm 118.6)." I hope this helps! It did not happen overnight, but I can honestly say that each day, even the really tough ones, are like a day at the beach for me now. For example, recently I had the thought, "I am so depressed!" Yet, I immediately seized that thought and gave it to Christ saying, "No. This is the day that Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it!" Immediately, the depression lifted. Again, this did not happen over night. However, a person can only be transformed if they know the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, "Whoever believes in Me will have rivers of living water bubbling up unto eternal life." Moreover, people can meet the Lord, just by saying, "Thank you, Lord, for filling me with the Holy Spirit." I hope this was helpful in your life. I am so very grateful for those who took the time to tell me about Jesus, about the Word of God. May the Lord fill you with a joy that is stronger than anything of this world (John 14.27)! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

@@marccrotty8447 um. I think you are missing the point here ,maybe? This is not a benching for misbehavior. This benching is until you ask for forgiveness for and repent from the sin that has made you know and feel that you should not take part in communion as you are.

Return to Rome

Come back to the Catholic religion. There is a difference, and it does deal with our salvation. Keep listening to father, Mike And I also pray, pray pray pray, and hopefully you’ll get your answer to return home. Protestants do not believe that the Eucharist is the body and blood soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. That’s the whole point of the mass please return.

I invite you to keep listening to father Mike and not to discard the idea of coming back to the Catholic faith. You will be always welcome!

@@kenshiloh Our "ask" of God, although we may believe that we've initiated it, is really our response to His constant knocking on the door of our hearts... He is the Hound of Heaven... Therefore our seeking baptism or someone seeking it on our behalf is a response to His Love...

@@oliverclark5604 Hi. Thanks for writing. Certainly, a person can ask for the Holy Spirit during baptism. Yet, you will nullify the words of Christ and of Paul to say that you can only ask while being baptized. Are the words of Christ true, "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him" or does a person need to be baptized to receive the Holy Spirit? Are the words of Paul true, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved" or is baptism necessary? You cannot believe the Catechism and the Bible as they are opposed to each other. Most importantly, I write these posts so that people may get to know their Maker - just by asking! That is, through the Cross, by the blood of Jesus, we can know God. Knowing Christ is eternal life. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

@@johnribeiro9260 Hi. Agreed that God must really do a work before our unbelieving hearts will finally believe. Moreover, I agree that baptism is important. Yet, to say that baptism is necessary for salvation is to negate the words of Christ. If a person had 5 minutes to live and asked you how to gain eternal life, what would you tell them? Thanks! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

The subject is not about the mother of the child. Bottom line, it is about the birthright of a human being. The mother c The subject of abortion is not about the mother. It is about the child's right to life on earth. To kill the birthright of another human being by abortion is to be complicit in the act of murder. Who on earth has the power to make the decision to kill an innocent human child's very birthright while in the making in the womb of it's mother?

I agree but is it possible forcing this belief could only lead to more problems? I hate abortion and wish it didn't exist. But you know what else I hate.. seeing women cry and get really angry over people telling them what to do in that situation. My thing is, is it possible god is pro choice in this situation. Maybe forcing this belief could lead to more problems in this world than we think. That's my question.

The devil is not afraid to get political because it’s one of his realms. Politics is for the devil. Politics is always putting one against the other so we as Catholics always need stay anchored in our hearts and in Our Lord.

@@Alex-lr5rj politics is not of the devil. Let's not get carried away now

Politics is a divider. Once you open the door, that can be used by everybody. Any sane Catholic can realize Abortion is a mortal sin because it goes against the very essence of God. Murder in the name of side stepping consequence. The culmination of a series of selfish decisions that lead the sinner to choose death, not for themselves but for an innocent. But you can bet that once you publicly open the door to denying communion, a number of liberal clergy will use that as a weapon for whatever pet cause they have. Have a Trump sticker on your car? Denied. Don't support LBGT? Denied. Don't think a child can pick their gender? Denied. Publicly speak out against open borders? Denied. The only way the church can avoid that fracturing is to not to play the politics game. Focus on scripture. Privately admonish these people that claim to be "pro-choice" and let them know it isn't a partisan issue.

Good point: we mustn't be afraid to get political at all; that's the field we're responsible for, and where we will be judged on: how we voted is precisely what we will be judged upon, for that shows our character the most, and what we most value.

@@drjay927 😂 right! it’s not of the devil definitely people can enter into this arena to do good, but it’s a tough playground and it’s an easy realm for him to play.

In a word, you're talking about atheistic materialism which not only denies the existence of God but the human soul as well, thus reducing mankind to is biological, chemical, and physical properties. If you are interested in how this developed historically, read the book entitled "Main Currents of Western Thought".

I tell you that both will fall into a pit." Is that your fate? Will you follow these blind guides, these white-washed tombstones? He said, "Why do you call Me 'Lord,' yet not do what I say?" You can know Christ - just by asking! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

If God is the creator of all things then he is the creator of good and evil. We have free choice to choose between the two. Therefore one cannot exist without the other.

@@roccocamarillo God did not create evil. Evil is the absence of God and of goodness.

Your comment gave me an aww moment. You hit it on the nail! If only all Catholics will understand like you do. "Not as a punishment but as love for their eternal soul." I take it that you are aware of developments in the Archdiocese of San Francisco?
