Anyone who rejects these or other teachings is a heretic, in a state of mortal sin, and cannot receive Communion. Without Confession and repentence such a person condemns themselves to Hell if they die unrepentent.

Unfortunately, it seems many people reject Church teachings based on other man-made (and therefore fallible) ideologies (at best) or just personal opinion (at worse) rather than sound theological ones. The entire essence of the Church teachings are theological in nature. To appropriately challenge theological doctrines, one must offer a theological explanation or support for their challenge. Just as in science, to challenge or offer a counter-claim without scientific support is fatuous. To merely venture an unsupported opinion would (rightly so) invite scorn and ridicule from the scientific community.
There are those who opine that there is so much blithe adoption of teachings by many Church faithful while their “enlightened” opinion is disputed. This demonstrates an undercurrent of hubris to me. Those that follow and accept Church doctrine are not necessarily simply dogmatic and unthinking. That is an aspersion that is only intended to deride those that critique your view. If you want to dissent from Church doctrine, back it up with sound theological principles if you want respectful debate. Otherwise, what you are offering is simply your opinion and will be subject to harsh criticisms and out right rejection for those who accept Church teachings.

Cafeteria Catholics who reject parts of the “CCC 2nd Ed” should not receive Holy Communion. This rejection is usually due to their own sinfulness and refusal to conform to the Word of God.
We are all sinners in one way or another, but if we are Catholic we must strive to adhere to the teachings of the Church.
CCC - “1792 Ignorance of Christ and his Gospel, bad example given by others, enslavement to one’s passions, assertion of a mistaken notion of autonomy of conscience, rejection of the Church’s authority and her teaching, lack of conversion and of charity: these can be at the source of errors of judgment in moral conduct.”
CCC - " 1801 Conscience can remain in ignorance or make erroneous judgments. Such ignorance and errors are not always free of guilt."
CCC - " 1791 This ignorance can often be imputed to personal responsibility. This is the case when a man “takes little trouble to find out what is true and good, or when conscience is by degrees almost blinded through the habit of committing sin.” In such cases, the person is culpable for the evil he commits."
