The bishop of Colorado's second-largest Roman Catholic diocese has issued a pastoral letter saying Catholics cannot receive Communion if they vote for politicians who support abortion rights, stem-cell research, euthanasia or gay marriage.
Of course, it's not the entire Church, up to JPII, who excommunicated the Denver Democrats; but given that Bishop Michael Sheridan is on the cutting-edge of some interesting Church-state issues, but hasn't yet been slammed down by his bosses, I'll let the unfair headline stay.
Remember, Bush has directly caused more deaths through what the Vatican considers an unjust war; Kerry's votes on abortion have directly hurt no fetuses.
