RE: THE DEMOCRATIC RESPONSE to the proposed withholding of the Eucharist from pro-choice politicians. I may get to this issue in greater depth later. For now, a quick, and somewhat cheeky, question:

How is it that it's a threat to the separation of church and state when the leadership of a church considers imposing private, religious sanctions on parishioners for their words and deeds, but it's a defense of the separation of church and state for four-dozen sitting members of Congress to publish an open letter telling the leadership of a church who should or should not be receiving its sacraments?

just curious
