My understanding, can dney only if someone is in mortal sin and priest knows it-ie, pro-abort politician, active homo,etc....

It may not be pleasant to think about, but if the priest knows a man is an active homo, but it isn't publicly known, he CAN'T deny him communion.

Only a notorious public sinner can be denied Holy Communion.

is the assumption toward the receipant that he is not actively sinning? he might be a chaste homo or confessed some point unk to the priest?

On that basis then, were the Dominicans and Capuchins “notorious public sinners”? What about Fathers Chazal and Pfeiffer – public sinners?? Also, what about the lady in Mexico and the firefighter with the website – all notorious public sinners??? Who gets to decide that?

Well stated. It certainly doesn't do Bishop Fellay and his gang any favours.

I'll second that. Thank you, JuanDiego.

To deny somebody the sacraments because they are in good conscience defending the Faith they believe to be in jeopardy sounds like a sacraligious act and hence a mortal sin. We'll let God judge that one but the appearances are certainly not good.

This is something we have to pray about.
