Do canonical Eastern Orthodox priests ever admit Catholics to the sacraments?

[OrbisNonSufficit]

and again, the question as to whether the sin is done or ongoing . . .

But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

I don’t think there is anything about “whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery except when sin is considered complete”. I don’t understand how this would fit the definition- even if sin is complete, effects of it are not. Lord explicitly states that to be unlawful and says it is “committing adultery”. I understand your concept of ongoing sin vs completed, but still effects are in place and this verse addresses that very, very clearly and explicitly.

Well Greek Orthodox work with Roman Catholic

I often attend a Greek Orthodox Church and they are probably the least likely to administer the Sacraments to Catholics (except in case of emergencies) even though they and the Catholic Church seem to have pretty good relations. I’m guessing one of the reasons would be because there is a very small Hellenistic Greek Catholic community in Greece.

I think that this is how it should be. Maybe not reserved for emergencies, but for extraordinary circumstances. The tragic reality is that we are not in communion.

What kind of “emergencies” would these be? Danger of death? Lack of access to sacraments for a prolonged period of time? And would the Catholic communicant or penitent have to confess the Orthodox Church as their mother before being allowed the sacraments? Repudiate purgatory and the filioque?

I would say you named them.

Not sure in these circumstances. I would guess not.
