Can You Receive Communion If You Are Divorced?

Divorce can feel like the end of the story, especially for Catholics who wonder if they’re now cut off from the sacraments. But the truth is more merciful than many realize. In this episode of Ask A Priest, Fr. Edward explains what the Church actually teaches about divorce, remarriage, and receiving Communion. Learn how annulments work, what “canonical form” means, and why the Church’s approach is rooted in both truth and compassion.

If you’re divorced or know someone who is, this episode offers clarity, hope, and a path forward.
