Extraordinary Ministers

In the Roman Catholic church, they appoint Extraordinary Ministers to serve the Eucharist. Is a person who is knowingly breaking the 8th commandment, i.e. deceiving her husband with lies, worthy to be appointed as an Extraordinary Minister?

And a sacrilege is to take the Communion without being in the Grace of GOD.

I thought it was a matter of conscience.

JudyKayTee,
No, it is a matter of being worthy to take the Eucharist, just as the bible tells us.
Peace and kindness,
Fred
