German schism widens: Communion to Protestants
… twelve female aspiring priests preached during Eucharistic celebrations
… a Catholic Mass, a Protestant Eucharistic Service, a celebration by the free evangelical churches, and Orthodox Vespers
… “licitly administer the sacraments to the Catholic faithful alone, who likewise receive them licitly from Catholic ministers alone” [ Can 844 §1 ]
… when there is a real need and it is impossible to have access to a Catholic minister
… also from non-Catholic ministers, “in whose Church the aforementioned sacraments are valid” [ Can 844 §2 ]
… “provided that they manifest Catholic faith in respect to these sacraments and are properly disposed” [ Can 844 §4 ]
…a grave spiritual need for the eternal salvation of an individual believer, not to bring about an intercommunion [ Ecclesia de Eucharistia n. 45 ]
… the divine law was violated
… The Christian faith has become an empty box, to be filled at will
Can 844
