Canon law question
Posted: Thu May 29, 2025 8:31 pm
If there's any clergy in this website I'd like to hear their opinion
scenario:
Someone approaches holy communion in sin with enough knowledge, and on top of that he then mistreats the host with contempt and malice (dolus) while consuming it, and has sufficient conscience in the moment that he is doing wrong but does not stop. And has foreknowledge that those actions could lead to canonical penalties.
Could this subject incurr in automatic excommunication?
