[quote=Anonymous]This is the Church's doctrine: The Catholic Church provides parishes resources to specifically help them incorporate people with disabilities. “To exclude members of the parish from these celebrations of the life of the Church, even by passive omission, is to deny the reality of that community,” according to the Pastoral Statement of U.S. Catholic Bishops on People with Disabilities. “Realistic provision must be made for persons with disabilities to participate fully in the Eucharist and other liturgical celebrations such as the sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation and Anointing of the Sick. The experiences and needs of individuals with disabilities vary, as do those of any group of people. For some with significant disabilities, special liturgies may be appropriate,” the USCCB statement said. [/quote]
