There was some comment here and in Bench Memos when Kmiec wrote about the incident earlier this spring. The whole thing is odd โ€” Doug making the case for Obama, the Communion-denial storyโ€ฆ. Priests need to be teaching what the church teaches, what votersโ€™ responsibilities are. And the example of Sebelius in Kansas is right, I believe. But the Doug story is unfortunate โ€” Iโ€™d be upset if I were Mass with Doug and he was denied Communion for columns heโ€™s written about Obama, as much as I disagree and donโ€™t understand them.
