Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
\nWe are all painfully aware that there are many Catholics today who are living in cohabitation. The Church must make it clear to the faithful that these unions are not in accord with the Gospel, and to help Catholics who find themselves in these situations to do whatever they must do to make their lives pleasing to God. ….<\/p>\n

We have three groups of people who are living contrary to the Gospel teaching on marriage: those who cohabit; those who have a merely civil union with no previous marriage; and those who have a civil union who were married before. These people are objectively living in a state of mortal sin and may not receive Holy Communion. They are in great spiritual danger. At the best – and this is, sadly, often the case – they are ignorant of God\u2019s plan for man and woman. At the worst, they are contemptuous of God\u2019s commandments and His sacraments.<\/p>\n

Of these three groups, the first two have no real excuse. They should marry in the Church or separate. Often their plea is that they \u201ccannot afford a church wedding\u201d i.e. the external trappings, or that \u201cwhat difference does a piece of paper make?\u201d – as if a sacramental covenant is nothing more than a piece of paper! Such statements show religious ignorance, or a lack of faith and awareness of the evil of sin.<\/p>\n

The third group, those who were married before and married again outside the Church, can seek a marriage annulment and have their marriage blest in the Church. Please remember that divorce still is no reason to refrain from Holy Communion as long as they have not entered into another marriage or sinful relationship. Many Catholics are confused on this point.<\/p>\n

Christ our Lord loves all these people and wishes to save them – not by ignoring their sin, or calling evil good, but by repentance and helping them to change their lives in accordance with His teaching. ….<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
