Abstract

The issue of admitting catholic believers to Holy Communion has always been a difficult one in the history. The position of the Church as expressed in Canon 915 of Code of Canon Law 1983 seems strict, but justified with its invariable teachings. The Catholics who have been excommunicated or interdicted after the imposition or declaration of the penalty and others obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin should always be aware of the fact, that it is not the Church that restricts them in their entitlements, but it is them that deprive themselves of that right. This is not a new teaching or tightening of ecclesiastical discipline. This is a continuation of Jesus’s teaching.
