Description
Résumé:"The mother of an autistic child has prepared her son for first Holy Communion. Because the Code of Canon Law requires that children first make a sacramental confession (praemissa sacramentali confessione) before receiving Holy Communion, her pastor has refused to allow the boy to receive the Eucharist, since he is unable to communicate sufficiently with a priest. The mother is most upset. Is the pastor correct?"
