Any Catholic who is divorced can go to confession and Holy Communion and is in concert with the Holy See since you are still considered "married" under church law and the covenant oath you made with God on your wedding day.
If you are divorced and are currently dating or remarried then you are considered to be engaging in adultery (while dating) or committing adultery (when remarried) and are NOT in concert with the Holy See and can not receive Holy Communion since you are not in a state of grace and violated your covenant oath with God.
So, it all depends on your circumstance.

Perhaps the Archdiocese of Boston or Washington, DC could mention this to the likes of John sKerry and Tubby Kennedy.
