Bishop to Gov. Davis: Choose Abortion or Communion
I like Mark Shea's comment on the bishop's authority.
Also, to answer Russ Lopez's comment, "Does the bishop want all Catholics to stop receiving Holy Communion? Who's going to be left in church?" There is a good reason to single Governor Davis out while ignoring the pro-life positions held by Catholics who do not hold any political office. The Governor is a special-case person because of his authority to influence abortion-related legislation. It is appropriate for someone holding political power to be held accountable for it.
