Its main moral emphasis was on the lack of grace of those who are not the elect

This is indeed not Catholic, and is virtually indistinguishable from Calvinism.

And our unworthiness to receive the Blessed Sacrament because of our sins

Look at the modern Church, where almost all communicate, but almost none confess. How can the sacramental graces of Communion be efficacious if virtually all the people receiving have unconfessed mortal sins on their souls?

Exactly. This is the exact issue St. Therese had concerning the Jansenist tendencies at her Carmel. It took her death and St. Pius X to finally resolve this issue. At the same time however, I think she would probably be no proponent of this abuse of Communion. In my own personal case, I think it's very beneficial that the parish that I attend has Confession before its Indult Mass (St. Mary's in DC).

[Hermann the Cherusker]

Many people today are deluded about their sanctity because of modern preaching. But the answer is not Jansenistic morality, but a return to monthly or more frequent confessions, or at least the custom of confessing at Christmas and Easter.
