The Associated Press did a story yesterday about the Catholic members of Congress who publicly support abortion attending Mass today in Washington, D.C. The Pope has said that these folks should not receive Communion.

I am not a Catholic, so it does not bother me one way or the other, but I have some Catholic friends who, for years, hoped that the leaders of the Catholic Church would stand firm and deny Communion to the Catholic politicians who refuse to stand up for life.

I doubt that it will happen today.
