He is one who clearly advocates the application of Can. 915 and so his conclusion on the Guarnizo case is, to say the least, of interest.Father John Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10581732723849634398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6845239886251312993.post-54693613961083055192012-11-02T06:07:18.971-07:002012-11-02T06:07:18.971-07:00My original comment did not advert in any way to D...My original comment did not advert in any way to Dr Peter's opinion on that case.

Grave scandal would have been caused had Fr Guarnizo given the lady Holy Communion in the circumstances he described. And grave scandal was caused by the Archbishop's apology to the anti-Catholic activist; this apology was further used to promote dissent from he Church's doctrine.

Re Lynda’s conclusion that “on the basis of the law” it is “clear that Fr. Guarnizo was correct”, I am astounded, ASTOUNDED, that anyone could have read my First Things essay—to say nothing of my numerous blog posts about that incident—and conclude that I held him to have acted in accord with the law, a claim I opposed despite some pretty “vicious and crazed responses” I received for doing so at the time. Anyway, we shoulder on. PS: Winter’s coming.

...An interesting article by Fr. Peters. Thank you.<br /><br />Just sorry that Father did not deal with reception of Most Blessed Sacrament by those living together before Marriage.

The vicious and crazed response of the anti-Catholic groups, including much of the Media so actively and cynically fomented by the woman and her collaborators, showed that Satan was much enraged.
