which is always possible by the power of the Holy Spirit." The communique continues, "Discernment must help to find possible ways of responding to God and growing in the midst of limits. By thinking that everything is black and white, we sometimes close off the way of grace and of growth, and discourage paths of sanctification which give glory to God. Let us remember that 'a small step, in the midst of great human limitations, can be more pleasing to God than a life which appears outwardly in order, but moves through the day without confronting great difficulties'. The practical pastoral care of ministers and of communities must not fail to embrace this reality. (cf. AL, 305)" Poland (June 2018) In June 2018, the bishops of Poland published guidelines for implementing Chapter 8 of Amoris laetitia. The guidelines do not address the issue of Holy Communion for people living in non-sacramental relationships. Dioceses in North America Philadelphia (July 2016) Archbishop Charles J.

McElroy of San Diego writes that there is "a role for the discernment of conscience on the question of participation in the life of the Church and the reception of the Eucharist." McElroy writes, "Some Catholics engaging in this process of discernment will conclude that God
