Father Piotr Jarosiewicz actively runs his account on TikTok, where, among others, organizes the so-called “Q&A” and answers questions from Internet users. The priest from the diocese of Drohiczyn has already gathered over 270,000 fans, which are still coming. They often ask him questions related to faith, religious practice and life dilemmas. This time, a woman came to the priest with a question about receiving Holy Communion.
God bless. I have a question: I have been living in a civil partnership for 20 years, for 7 years we have been living as siblings. I go to Holy Communion. Am I not sinning?
the Internet user asked.
The priest recorded his response and posted it on Tiktok. “It seems to me that this is about a white marriage,” he began his speech. He went on to say that “a white marriage itself is not a sacrament, but at the moment when we want to live like this, in the Roman Catholic church we go to the priest and we ask for his permission.”
We then swear that we intend to live in purity with each other, i.e. we stop living in sin, and thus we can use the sacrament of penance, i.e. confession, and the sacrament of the Eucharist
he continued.
We know well from history that these white marriages have existed since the dawn of time, so answering the question: yes, you can go to confession and yes, you can go to Holy Communion, if, as I said before, it is reported to the church, it is reported to the priest and it is a promise. Regards!
– said the priest.
“It is not normal”
There were over 100 comments under the video. Internet users share different opinions on the topic raised by the priest.
A man and a woman as “siblings” is not normal…
There are no white marriages. Either there is a marriage or there is not…
The priest asks if I can live like this. I don’t want to believe
