EUCHARIST DOCUMENT: United States Conference of Catholic Bishops voted to write a document on the meaning of the Eucharist in the Life of the Church during its Spring Plenary Assembly on June 16 to 18. Since the announcement of the vote, there has been much attention on the vote taken to draft a document on the Eucharist. The question of whether to deny any individual or groups Holy Communion was not on the ballot. The vote by the bishops last week tasked the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on the Doctrine to begin the drafting of a teaching document on the Eucharist. In November of 2021, the bishops will gather to discuss the document draft.

The Eucharist is the source and summit of Christian life. The document being drafted is not meant to be disciplinary in nature, nor is it targeted at any one individual or class of persons. It will include a section on the church’s teaching on the responsibility of every Catholic, including bishops, to live in accordance with the truth, goodness and the beauty of the Eucharist we celebrate.

The bishops made no decision about barring anyone from receiving Holy Communion.
