Question
In the traditional church can a divorced person receive communion?
Divorced AND REMARRIED, no. That would contradict Our Lord's censure, as reported by all four evangelists in Scripture. Thus, anyone in this condition has by his own action separated himself from the Church and therefore "communion" would be completely illogical. Not even in the New Order Church is this permitted.
