Partaking in Communion is not withheld for divorce; it is withheld for re-marriage if the other "prior" spouse is still alive.

Correct. So the way to be allowed to partake again is to hire a hitman to kill your ex, and then go to Confession and receive absolution for the murder.

” So the way to be allowed to partake again ...”

I guess that might seem a possibility, but I’m guessing the “contrition” part might be a bit superficial, and the absolution wouldn’t really “take”.

doesn't work that way for Catholics...a condition of absulution from the priest would be to go to the authorities and get yourself straight with the state and have sincere contrition for your sin....with a protestant, however...they'd say, oh well, Jesus died for all my sins so I have no responsibility at all....see the difference??

That's pretty logical...As long as you repent you are allowed to partake in the Eucharist...
