Can a divorced Catholic receive the sacraments?
Yes. There is nothing in itself that prevents a divorced Catholic from receiving the Eucharist and other sacraments of the Church. A divorced person is fully and completely a member of the Church. Divorced persons do not cease to remain husband and wife before God, and are still called to honor the marriage vows even while living in a separated state.
