This may be a misunderstanding on my part, but it seems like this article equates Grave Sin with Mortal Sin. I had been under the impression that, although both serious, there were real distinctions. It may not affect the relevant canon law cited (which seems to deal specifically with grave sin anyways), but it was something that gave me pause, and may others as well.
What if a person is allergic to wheat and to wine? What happens to their obligation to receive communion once a year? How could they be dispensed from that obligation?

Technical question then, given all of the above: has Mrs. Pelosi been excommunicated?
