CWN Editor's Note: The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) has rejected a policy approved by the German bishops’ conference, which would have allowed Protestant spouses of Catholics to receive Communion in some cases. The CDF decision, which was approved by Pope Francis, was originally reported on the German news site Kathnet.

That's a little bit of good news and a sign that the Holy Spirit does guide the Church. The question is whether German Bishops are willing to respect the decision.

It is good for the Pope to be rigid every once in a while.
