I doubt it. Those holy priests who do refuse to distribute communion when confronted with persons who present a public scandal (outspoken homosexuals, abortionists) are severely disciplined and/or suppressed.

Denying communion to such people doesn’t jive with the Holy Father’s pastoral mission...

I can believe that from the example he set right from the beginning. Though if the Pope actually takes such a position, is there a point to the Church overall? Or it just an object of adoration in itself to those faithful who cling but to its entrails?
