Cardinal Tagle on Communion for Divorced and Civilly Remarried Catholics

Instead of offering a clear “yes” or “no” answer, Cardinal Tagle holds that “every situation for those who are divorced and remarried is quite unique.” A general rule, he added, “might be counterproductive in the end.” My position at the moment is to ask, ‘Can we take every case seriously, and is there, in the tradition of the Church, paths towards addressing each case individually?’ This is one issue that I hope people will appreciate is not easy to say ‘no’ or to say ‘yes’ to. We cannot give one formula for all.”
