Religion is about the "care of the soul" and a person's relationship with ultimate causes. To trivialize it for some anachronistic social belief to the detriment of its practitioners just seems cruel... It seems a shame.

I also went through instruction to become a Catholic Bereavement Counselor. As a Euchristic Minister one of my main duties was to give out communion (host) to parisheners at church or any other place when catholics couldn't get to church (hospitals, care centers, nursing homes etc. I find it so repugnant that a Bishop or anyone else would make a judgement to punish a politician because he believes in a womans choice. I stopped giving out communion when the pope continued to insist that catholics around the world shouldn't you protection while having sex, especially after the discovery of aids. The bishop is trying to stop people from voting for so called sinners Voters worried for years that voting for a catholic would be giving the pope power. Shame on them.The obvious thing their doing is telling catholics if you vote for Kennedy or others like him, and think like and vote like him, you could be denied communion too. That would be a frightening thing to do because catholics have been taught communion is a wonderful gift and gives you special graces etc. I'm sorry for the computer porblem with the words.
