True Spiritual Advantage

[PadrePioOfPietrelcino]

Cappie posted this in a previous response:

Canon. 861, §2. Whenever necessity requires it or true spiritual advantage suggests it, and provided that danger of error or of indifferentism is avoided, the Christian faithful for whom it is physically or morally impossible to approach a Catholic minister are permitted to receive the sacraments of penance, Eucharist, and anointing of the sick from non-Catholic ministers in whose Churches these sacraments are valid."

What would be a spiritual advantage to Recieving in let's say an Orthodox Church. The wording seems to give wiggle room of a significant portion.

Firstly, my apologies, it's canon 844,2

 

There must be a real necessity or a genuine spiritual advantage, e.g. the need  to receive the sacrament of penance when one is in mortal sin, a genuine spiritual advantage would be realised in the case of a spiritual desire to receive the Eucharist, particularly by someone who is accustomed to do so regularly.
