| Résumé: | The phrase "Eucharistic coherence" was used by the Latin American bishops in their 2007 Aparecida document, in which they insisted on Eucharistic coherence in their Catholic communities. Then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now Pope Francis, played a crucial role in the development of the document. Christian teaching promotes coherence between faith and action, and consistency between thoughts, words, and deeds. Such coherence is especially important when it comes to the reception of Holy Communion. At the same time, the incoherence of our culture is evident in the confusion over the meaning of marriage, gender identity, and the sanctity of unborn human life. This article addresses the canonical aspects of seeking Eucharistic coherence in an era of incoherence, paying particular attention to canons 915-916 of the Code of Canon Law. The ultimate goal is conversion and readmission to communion, not exclusion and permanent expulsion from the community of faith. |
