The Catholic Church forbids
divorcees from taking communion, but Pope Francis has been looking for a
solution to the problem saying that 'something must be done' to help those that
want to

A little bread and wine 'does no
harm,' Pope Francis said to a divorced woman as he flew in the face of Catholic
convention by telling her it's okay for her to take communion.
Catholic teachings traditionally
forbid divorcees from the Eucharist, so the divorcee had written to its
spiritual leader asking for advice about how she could be part of the ritual.
She had told him she didn't want to
do anything that would be wrong in the eyes of the church.
Pope Francis has for some time been
looking for a solution to the problem, saying that ‘something must be done’ to
help those that want to.
