Summary/Abstract: The issue of admitting catholic believers to Holy Communion has always been a dif- cult one in the history. e position of the Church as expressed in Canon 915 of Code of Canon Law 1983 seems strict, but justi ed with its invariable teachings. e Catholics who have been excommunicated or interdicted after the imposition or declaration of the penalty and others obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin should always be aware of the fact, that it is not the Church that restricts them in their entitlements, but it is them that deprive themselves of that right. is is not a new teaching or tightening of ecclesias- tical discipline. is is a continuation of Jesus’s teaching.
