Since the top of the Church's org. chart is G-d, I don't think there is any confusion in the hierarchy. There may be confusion in the ranks, but it would be a good idea if the ranks would get it straight, as the CEO has a habit of being very harsh with those who are supposed to know better.
I'm not a Catholic theologan, but I would be very, very, very careful before giving any holy sacrament to anyone who had openly rejected a relationship with G-d. I don't think G-d would punish the petitioner, but the giver of the sacrament might want to be standing near a lightning rod.
Shalom.
