As best I can tell it's up to the Catholic Church to decide this matter, it's their rules and their member they will or won't be excummunicat'n. Cummincate with him or don't, give him communion or don't, since I'm not Catholic it has no effect on me one way or the other.
Just a word of caution to anybody tak'n a position, check your hands & feet out real close, I doubt many of us have nail holes in either location.
