    I thought sinners were the ones who needed Christ the most?

    You must confess your sin and promise to repent from it to receive communion. Willfully embracing sin makes communion meaningless for the willful sinner, and would be unethical for a priest to adminster an unholy communion.
    "See, in the last few years...we've stumbled... And when you stumble a lot, you...you start looking at your feet. We have to make people...lift their eyes back to the horizon and see the line of ancestors behind us saying, 'Make my life have meaning.' And to our inheritors before us saying, 'Create the world we will live in.' I mean, we're not just holding jobs and having dinner. We are in the process of building the future."

    The repentance (and sincere subsequent praying for forgiveness of that sin from God) must precede the communion, as I understand it.

    Unrepentant sinners have denied Christ. Denying her the sacrament of communion was appropriate.

    You don't get Christ by eating a cracker.

    Did you UNcapitalize 'Christ' in your quote, or did it do that on its own?

    Considering the "You" became UNcapitalized as well...

    I responded with "EXACTLY", which apparently the forum software decided was too many capitals and decided to uncapitalize everything.
