So let me get this straight. Manifest sinners, adulterers, and heretics can receive Holy Communion, eating and drinking to their own damnation, but if someone doesn't pay their 'Church tax', he's excommunicated?
From Gloria.tv
“We don’t have the right to allow or deny anybody access to the Eucharist”, Münster Bishop Felix Genn claims in a foreword for a diocesan guideline about pastoral care for marriage.
Nevertheless, the German bishops have declared that they consider everybody "excommunicated" - and therefore not allowed to receive Holy Communion - who refuses to pay the German church tax which finances the German bishops and dioceses.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
