Point - Counterpoint

Point:
"Let us not judge the consciences of others and be so presumptuous as to say who is and who is not worthy to receive Communion" -- a recently expressed opinion

Counterpoint:
"I answer that, A distinction must be made among sinners: some are secret; others are notorious, either from evidence of the fact, as public usurers, or public robbers, or from being denounced as evil men by some ecclesiastical or civil tribunal. Therefore Holy Communion ought not to be given to open sinners when they ask for it." -- St. Thomas Aquinas
