It would be near impossible for a Priest to know who to deny Holy Communion to,unless he was aware of the communicants disposition.
True. In most cases the priest would not know the disposition of each individual communicant. However, in the public arena, there are notable and very important exceptions where the implementation of Canon Law's canon 915 would apply.

True. In most cases the priest would not know the disposition of each individual communicant. However, in the public arena, there are notable and very important exceptions where the implementation of Canon Law's canon 915 would apply.
This is a long but important quote:
Let's take the Democrat Catholic governor of Colorado, Bill Ritter, for an example, who lives and works in the Denver area. Archbishop Chaput has warned him publicly for almost two years, has written columns denouncing Ritter's legislations, and I assume the Archbishop has written him personal catechetical appeals.
Shortly after taking office, Ritter restored state funding for Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, signed legislation that requires all Roman Catholic hospitals to distribute emergency contraception to rape survivors, and pledged that he will not seek to appoint judges who oppose abortion rights. To date, Ritter has no anti-abortion legislation on his agenda. Ritter also has made it clear that if Roe v. Wade were overturned, he would veto legislation that is 'too restrictive' against abortions in Colorado. Ritter also supports sodomite marriage. The Catholic Church condemns all of Ritter's above "right to life" beliefs. [1]
When a public pro-abortion person disregards a bishop's directive to stay away and comes to Holy Communion 'of his own volition,' and the Minister of the Eucharist gives the Host to such a person, the bishop is doing evil [CIC, n.1755] because he has not instructed his Ministers to deny. The Denver Archbishop refuses to walk the talk. [2] He failed to teach his flock that these persons must be denied Holy Communion.
In contrast to Archbishop Chaput, 15 U.S. Archbishops and Bishops [6] have publicly stated that they would deny Holy Communion to such persons. Of this list of 15 Bishops, is included Bishop Michael Sheridan of Colorado Springs, Co. Does the disunited U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops now teach that it is correct for Bishop Sheridan to deny Nancy Pelosi the Eucharist in his diocese while Archbishop Chaput, in his Archdiocese, just 75 minutes away, allows his ministers to give evil Nancy Pelosi the Eucharist?
For some U.S. bishops to deny and other U.S. bishops not deny Holy Communion to pro-abortion politicians is a source of disunity and confusion for the entire universal Church and a grave scandal against the faithful worldwide.
This leads the common observer to wonder why a group of 268 active U.S. bishops, including 25 Archbishops and 11 Cardinals, should even pretend to exist as a united Conference when they cannot agree on the most fundamental and crucial teaching of the Church, that abortion is murder.

Archbishop Chaput is my favorite but nobody is perfect...
Sadly, Archbishop Chaput has indicated that it is the responsibility of the communicant to stay away from the Communion Rail. This is not correct.

Rather, it is the responsibility of the Minister of the Eucharist to deny Holy Communion. This is a huge difference that goes against the Church's teachings regarding canon 915 as well as recent statements from the Vatican stating that the manifest pro-abortion politicians must be denied, and the burden IS upon the Minister to deny, NOT upon the communicant to stay away.

The USCCB bureaucracy is in favor of a whole host of left-wing ideas, including the concept of nationalized health care. That is why so many conservative Catholics, like me, pay little or no heed to policy pronouncements from that body. (unless the USCCB has unanimous support from each and every American ordinary, its statements have utterly no force unless they have been approved by the Holy See). …More

If you haven't done so, you need to review Bishop Vasa's remarks about that very subject here. Thank goodness there are an increasing number of bishops who don't buy into the socialist lies like this one promulgated by the USCCB bureaucracy: like Vasa, Naumann, Finn, Lori, Doran, Nienstedt, Nicklass, Aquila, Chaput, Tobin, Johnston, Slattery, and others. Sadly, they are still in the minority.

Chances are most likely slim that the entire USCCB would agree on this,...there's always an enemy...always a Judas.

It's a Christian thing to take care of your neighbor. But, it does not mean and Jesus never said this, that therefore it should be the government that should take care of all our neighbors for us.
Now, to get this message to the USCCB?
