St.Alphonsus
Liguori says do not go up to receive the Eucharist at Mass from a priest in
public mortal sin. He would be referring to a bishop, cardinal and pope.
In is
Teologia Moralis he says that since the is on the way to Hell and by
going up to receive the Eucharist you are telling him that all is O.K.
He
suggests that unless you cannot fulfill your Sunday obligation go elsewhere for
Mass.
Going
up to receive the Eucharist from a priest in public mortal sin for him is a sin
against charity and religion.
With
Vatican Council II interpreted rationally we are back to the old moral theology
and we can tell when a priest is in public mortal sin. The Council does not
contradict the past exclusivist ecclesiology and the old way of looking at sin
and eternal death.
We can
no longer say that we cannot judge the intention of a person. We can judge,
Pope John Paul II tells us, in Veritatis Splendor.
Public mortal sin is not in step with Vatican Council II ( rational ). - Lionel Andrades
