Taking communion in a state of sin is forbidden.

I guess you meant unrependent sin, didn't you? We are all in a state of sin.

Hmmm...just had an interesting thought...are the academics next? (Like Billybob suggested elsewhere?)

Incorrect. God's grace removes sin.

I'm not sure where you are coming from.

Catholics conscious of unconfessed mortal sin are not to take communion. It was this "State of sin" that I refer to.

I would not, in general, say we are all in a state of sin. We are born that way, but we have the sacraments to alter this.
