If he knows of the person's sin only through the Confessional, he is absolutely forbidden to act on that knowledge. He can act only if the sin is publicly known. Denying Communion on the basis of private knowledge of the person's sin is tantamount to making that knowledge public.

I wonder if this homosexual and her "partner" planned this in some way. Was the daughter of the deceased attending Catholic Church regularly? Seems the two homosexuals met with the priest beforehand and displayed their aggression and rebellion. Their perverted sex acts mean more to them than God, His laws, or the church. The priest did a good deed and upheld religious principles. He deserves support, not condemnation.
What an odd stance. The priest must obey his bishop, but in doing so he facillitates a mortal sin.

Why, Lord?
I’m not Catholic. But it sounds to me like a few excommunications are in order.
