One prominent elected official argued that if the Church were to tell any politician (but especially the president) that he could not take Holy Communion then legal punishment should follow, including the stripping of the Church’s tax exemption. All this shows is how much some politicians think they own us. Whatever the bishops decide to do, it is within their authority given by God. As a matter of religious liberty, the Church has the right to teach what she believes and to sanction adherents for heresy, immorality and scandal. The president, himself, should repudiate such interference in a matter that involves the Lord, the Church’s shepherds, him and other of the faithful.
