Secondly, sticking with someone whom one knows is endangering the spiritual and physical well-being of fellow parishioners, for the sake of getting the valid sacraments, is both selfish and sinful -- especially when the sacraments are available from others. For those who risk their fellow parishioners' well-being to get their sacraments, I say "shame on you!"
This phenomenon - putting access to the Sacraments of God before doing what is pleasing to the God of the Sacraments - is what I have come to call "Mass-mongering Sacramental savagery." To avoid
doing what is right in order to maintain one's access to the Sacraments (or simply out of fear of losing such) is to have it ALL
backwards. The WHOLE POINT of receiving the Sacraments is to receive the grace and strength needed to
live a good life. A good life consists in DOING what is RIGHT.
