Can I receive the Eucharist after two divorces?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Catholic : One Thread

I was baptized in the Catholic Church as a child. I was married in the Catholic church thirty years ago. The marriage ended in divorce 10 years later. Ten years after that I remarried in a civil union and that too ended in divorce five years later. I was away from the church during the period since the beginning of my first marriage and the end of my second, but I have come back in the last several years. My question is: Can I again receive the Eucharist once I go to confession?

Yes! U can, but In the Confessión, the priest perhaps asks U if U at this very moment have no sexual relationship, in other words, that U are living like a single man. Our Lord clearly states that U can leave your wive but u can not "replace" her, U have to live like a single man. That's to say that a single man cannot have sexual relationships, just because he is "single".

God Bless U all!
