The only sacrament that a lay person may administer is baptism, and that only in an emergency, in an accident where there is danger that a person is dying or dead. You may be asking about Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, who are laypeople (or clerics in Minor Orders) who are appointed to help distribute Holy Communion, they are just called Extraordinary Ministers.

A Catholic can divorce and remain a Catholic as long as the person does not remarry. The Catholic Church does not recognize divorce so would consider the person as separated from the spouse. To remarry the person would have to obtain a Church annulment or the previous spouse would have to die. If the person remarries without an annulment, that person would be considered as an adulterer and could not receive the sacraments. The Anglican Church, as we have seen with Henry VIII's life, is much more liberal when it comes to divorce.

When a person was kicked of the Catholic Church?
ExcommunicationRoman Catholic AnswerI could be wrong, but I don't know of anyway to remove a person from the Catholic Church. If a person is a Catholic, then they remain a Catholic, subject to all the laws of the Church until they die. An excommunicated person is under a specific penalty in which they can not receive the Sacraments or be given a Christian burial, but they are still required to attend Mass, and abide by all the other regulations. A person may remove themselves from the Church's jurisdiction, but they are the only ones who may do that - the Church cannot.
