[quote=Anonymous]My 22 YO brother has CP and has a varying mental capacity depending on whether he's in an up phase or a down one, to use our layman's terms. It makes me sad to think he ccould be denied any sacrament because of his disability. I don't think Jesus put any conditions on whether you had to be sound of mind or body when he said, "do this in memory of me". Somehow I can't imagine Jesus turning my brother away from His table. I think the chruch needs to rethink its rules on Communion inclusiveness. Instead of limiting it to those who qualify under their rules to participate - they should be trying to get anyone and everyone to receive God's grace in the form of the Eucharist. Not only would it do away with all this bad PR, but it could be the literal "communion" that person needs to jon or get back on track with their faith and with Catholicism.[/quote]
