Oh, I'm so glad you said that, Daisy. I'm no longer Catholic (and was only half catholic when I was), but I do recall that individual priests had, in practice if not in theory, a fair amount of flexibility in these things.
So while I've talked with a person who was divorced (not at his choice) and was devastated to be refused communion, I also remember that my husband talked a lot about these things with a priest who was a lot more willing to bend.
