It's a message that resonates with some Catholics. Gene Philips is a regular at Pathfinder. A staunch anti-abortion Catholic, he broke away after a priest told him that as a divorced man, he could not receive communion.
I just heard this interview on Nationalist People's Radio. The quote above is representative of the MSM's reporting on Catholicism. Of course a "divorced" man can receive communion. A "divorced" man who is "re-married" to someone who is not his real wife cannot receive communion worthily because he would be an adulterer.
