Well, if we're ruling out catholics for communion based on sin, or not following the rules....there wont be many catholics left when we're done.  Hell, being a sinner is almost a requirement, no, wait, it actually is a requirement.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You are allowed to take communion after confession. Yes everyone is a sinner but to be forgiven you must repent of your sin. The lesbian daughter was not repentant. Plus, I think Catholics make some distinctions between mortal and venial sins, but I'm not sure.

Dogma vs the actual living faith, know what I mean?

The real hypocrite is someone who thinks entitled to participate in the sacred ritual they don't believe in. I am a non-Catholic and out of respect for their faith, I will not take communion in a Catholic church.
Fuck 'em....it's a wafer and not even tasty.

What's this I hear about grape juice? If they aren't passing the wine I feel cheated. Had they not been doling out drinks on a sunday my ancestors never would have climbed aboard.....and I wouldn't have to deal with the shame of their conversion.

I think it's asinine. She want's to be member of the church, church spurns her.
I also think it's a good laugh. By turning people away they lead more people to the dark side 
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
