Good news. Sloppy reporting.
There is no provision in canon law to deny confession to any baptized Catholic.
Not without excommunicating them, is that correct? I’m not Catholic.
That aside, I always compare these things to baseball. wWhoever heard of a ‘fundamentalist’ or ‘conservative’ baseball team? either you use a bat and hit the ball and run the bases according to the rules, or you’re not playing baseball and can go elsewhere.
Incorrect. If one is excommunicated the excommunication must be lifted prior to a return to the Sacraments.
TITLE IV: PENALTIES AND OTHER PUNISHMENTS (Cann. 1331 - 1340)
CHAPTER I : CENSURES
Can. 1331 §1 An excommunicated person is forbidden:
1° to have any ministerial part in the celebration of the Sacrifice of the Eucharist or in any other ceremonies of public worship;
2° to celebrate the sacraments or sacramentals and to receive the sacraments ;
Well is not serious sin is to be confessed to a priest, and that includes all valid ordained priests?
