Priest: No communion for Obama supporters

[QUOTE=''MSNBC'']A South Carolina Roman Catholic priest has told his parishioners that they should refrain from receiving Holy Communion if they voted for Barack Obama because the Democratic president-elect supports abortion, and supporting him ''constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil.''[/QUOTE]Source
Do you think it's right to deny people their communion just because they voted for Obama, and he just happens to be pro-choice?

Hopefully the Catholic church does this more often, hopefully it will put people off of being apart of that institution and start thinking for themselves.

That's pretty funny but in a sad way.

Same thing here. Our bishop passed a letter sayin that if you vote for a pro-choice canadite it is a mortal sin and thus you cannot receive communion unless you go to confession. Yes I agree it is beyond all idiocy I have seen in this world. For a catholic who votes (or will vote I can't vote yet) most importantly for secular reasons and put my faith as a bonus (ex. if the canadite happens to be pro-life great but thats not why I am going to vote for him). The theology teacher at our Catholic School (sectional school FTL) is telling everyone it is most important to vote based on your faith and leave the secular reasons i.e. the economy as least important. It makes me so mad!
Voting for Obama didn't stop me from receiving communion this past weekend.
Well, look at it from their point of view: Those people support a man who supports an action that is viewed as the equivalent to infanticide, an abhorrent act that is viewed as absolutely despicable in every country on Earth, and is ten times as despicable in Catholicism. Should the church commune somebody who, as far as they're concerned, supports one of the most nightmarish legislations in American history? Should the people, who know that this is the view of the church they follow, expect their chuch to just make an exception in their case?
