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.

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.

Well there's our answer, then - just go to the diocese parish for Confession!

They won't refuse anyone! Or the priest will be "removed."

Oh, wait - that only works for pagans, perverts and apostates. Trads are off
limits for their "mercy."

Years ago, I went to a diocese "Reconciliation" room, and told the priest I
had gone to a "Traditional Mass in the old rite." He blustered and said I had
committed a "mortal sin." This was before Summorum Pontificuм. Then I
explained it was an Eastern Orthodox Divine Liturgy. Suddenly he changed his
tune, and got all calm and tolerant. It was not even a venial sin to assist at an
Orthodox Divine Liturgy! (He was reluctant to accept the word, "venial" as a
modifier for sin, but when I repeated the word, he capitulated, as if he would
be "nice" to this guy who's obviously stuck in the 50's or something like that.)

That told me everything I needed to know. I haven't been back to a diocese
priest since then.
