If communion was withheld from everyone that had sinned there would be no more communion.

There’s a difference between having sinned and living in a state of mortal sin. Witholding the Eucharist isn’t punishment, it’s to keep the person from making it worse by committing sacrilege.

Yup, that's why Christ instituted the Sacrament of reconciliation.......remember, whose sins that you forgive, they are forgiven...etc.
