An olive branch to divorced-and-remarried Catholics?
An item in the current edition of The Tablet of London hints at a possible opening for divorced and remarried Catholics to receive communion--even though many do, obviously, their ban from the altar under church law remains one of the sorest pastoral points in the US church. It is also a sore point

Well – you and his holiness on the same page – wow!! What does that say?!

Welcome to America. Please contine to pray for American, we are about to go to hell in handbasket. Crime, the people out of work all prices going up. No one cares. As people lose jobs businesses continue to make it harder to survive. Pray for American. Lives lost on the streets, in people homes, in a war that does not make sense. Please pray for America. Children are out of control because they’ve been told if your parents discipline you “call 911″. You are old fashioned one said, thank God for that. The drug abuse is out of control. Please pray for America. We have a president who is arrogant. Continue praying for us. I am a witness that God answers prayers. We were in a drought business got ready to capitalize on that. We prayed for rain. God answered. Have they thanked God for the rain and not try to make money from that. Not at all. American needs prayer!
