I've been asking myself this since Saturday night: why all the ruckus over communion NOW? Many elections have come and gone since the right to an abortion was protected by the Supreme Court. So now all of sudden this hard line appears? Something's rotten in Rome - or more likely consverative American dioceses in Colorado, New Jersey or Pennsylvania, I'm telling you. Is it the high-profile of Kerry's Catholicism? But why should that matter TODAY - anti-choice is anti-choice, regardless of religion, as Fr. Leinhard pointed out on Saturday while praising Newark Archbiship Myers letter. (Coincidental that the only TV interview the Newark guy granted was to FOX News? I think not.)

Now, as Outrage.com predicted weeks ago, the Catholic conservatives have moved from public officials to the general congegration. The only thing Catholic priests are doing in continuing this lunacy is to further the re-election of Bush II. They are so far out of bounds I can't stand it.
