Hallo,
ich habe gerade das Bedürfnis, dieses Thema zu aktualisieren... und zwar "verfolgt" mich folgende Überlegung: Wenn für einen konkreten Termin geplant ist, dass man (nein, FRAU
, das ist es ja eben!)getauft wird und danach direkt zur Hl.Kommunion geht, und nun stellt diejenige fest, dass sie ihre "Tage" anscheined früher als erwartet/"normal" bekommt - was macht sie dann? Manche schrieben ja hier (Songül und Mary) dass es kein Problem sei, da es eigentlich nur um Hygienevorschriften aus der Zeit vor 200 Jahren geht, als es noch keine Tampons etc. gab. Was ich persönlich sehr einleuchtend finde. -Aber andere wiederum haben eine andere Meinung... Hm. Soll sie dann ihrem Priester sagen, dass sie erst min. eine Woche später zur Kommunion geht? Das ist doch aber irgendwie schon... hm, "blöd" - und v.a. auch schade, wenn man sich darauf gefreut hat, zu kommunizieren und vielleicht nicht so bald wieder dazu kommt (z.B. Kirche ist weiter weg oder so). Oder soll sie es nur "mit sich und Gott" ausmachen und niemandem etwas sagen?
Ich habe generell zum Thema das hier gefunden:
"
We must revere the Fathers of our Church, and hold them in high regard. However, we must also remember that they
were fallible men who were products of their times. Times in which I believe sanitary hygiene played an important role. As
the only logical reason for not permitting women to enter a Church building and participate in the Sacraments was to prevent
them from physically dirtying the house of the Lord, and for no other apparent theological reason, and as these issues of
hygiene are no longer relevant in this particular day and age, these canons need to be re-examined by the Church. We must
understand that these canons were practical for their time period, however, for our society, whose understanding of the body is
more advanced, and whose hygiene practices allow women to come and go "clean", the usefulness of these Canons fall under
question. It is time that we as a Church put the spiritual needs of women experiencing the blood of life in the forefront. It is
time for our Clergy and Spiritual Fathers to use discernment in interpreting these as well as other Canons and to put the
spiritual health of all their spiritual children in the fore. Forbidding Communion is a serious and grave thing, which causes not
only spiritual, but also psychological and emotional harm. If their spiritual children have cleansed themselves on the inside,
repenting and confessing their sins, and if they truly thirst for Christ, then Spiritual Fathers should show mercy and
compassion by allowing them "with faith, love and the fear of God, to draw near" to our Saviour's divine mystery.We must revere the Fathers of our Church, and hold them in high regard. However, we must also remember that they
