Description
Summary:As Freeman points out, the 1993 Directory for the Application of Principles and Norms on Ecumenism generally repeats the criteria from 1972 but drops the reference to "serious spiritual need," raising the bar to "danger of death" in paragraph 130. I would add here that the 1993 Directory also says nothing about lacking recourse to the sacrament in one's own tradition for a prolonged period of time. The 1993 text states only that the person in question be "unable to have recourse for the sacrament desired to a minister of his or her own Church or ecclesial Community."
