**I have even heard my own clergy lament that it is easier for a serial rapist or ax murder to receive the Eucharist than a divorced person.**

It is my understanding that as long as a divorced person does not remarry — they can receive the Eucharist.

You, as usual, are correct, but the discussion I was recounting was in the context of remarriage.
