A priest's ability to consecrate and celebrate the Eucharist is provided to him in his priestly Faculties. This faculty is not impaired or removed simply because the priest is a sinner. In fact it would be a miracle if there were a Catholic Priest anywhere who was not a sinner.
So there is nothing wrong, different, or missing in a communion service that is led by a priest who has sinned. You should be able to take communion from this priest in full confidence that it is properly consecrated.
Should you take communion? Is a somewhat personal decision. The Catholic Church recommends that as long as the priest still has his faculty to celebrate mass, that you should feel comfortable participating in the mass and receiving communion.

Is it right for a pastor to tell you to get right with your fellow brother before taking communion?
It is not right to take communion in the state or mortal sin and a pastor should tell you that for your own spiritual good, or you would be commiting a greater sin by receiving your God in a sinful state, but as to getting right with your brother it depends on what the wrong is. I would assume the pastor has a reason for saying that as it is normal for humans to argue with one another on occassions. If i could not receive communion every time my sister and i fought... well we're sisters and dissagreements occur almost daily. forgiveness is key though and everyone craves reconciliation to one another. asking for forgiveness is a sign of humility and even if he doesn't, you should offer it sincerly. I forgive my sister for the wrongs she commits against me, with no grudge, I also ask for forgiveness when I realize i am wrong. I don't always get an answer, but my concience is clear and at peace. Goodluck!
