Blessed John Duns Scotus on the possibility of reception of the Holy Communion in the state of mortal sin. Analysis in the context of contemporary theological-disciplinary discussions

Summary/Abstract: The discussion in the Church on admition of divorced and remarried to the Holy Communion is a part of a broader debate on the possibility of reception of the Holy Communion in the state of mortal sin. Theologians of various periods in the history of the Church, gave their opinions on that subject. A genius Franciscan scholastic theologian bl. John Duns Scotus considers such an action as a further mortal sin. At the same time he respects the judgement made by an upright conscience of such a prior sin and allows reception of the Holy Communion in order to avoid depravity of the faithful, on condition of a firm resolution of confessing the sin in the sacrament of Reconciliation as soon as possible. These exceptions cannot refer to people who do not have a firm resolution of rejecting the sin. The author of the article reflects that allowing the reception of the Holy Communion by such people would be with damage to their spiritual life and would contribute to a greater loss of the sense of sin among contemporary Catholics.
