(Truly radio in Omaha is that bad, okay to be fair I was in the mood for talk radio, so choices were real limited.) I found his arguments to be quite scary. Not only did he say that Catholics should not vote for pro-life candidates, but that any public figure who was catholic and did not take an adamant pro-life stance ought to be denied communion for knowingly committing a sin without repentance. In addition, anyone who supported him, or if we could only get the records, voted for him ought to be denied the sacrament as well. While some accused him of bringing politics into the church, his response was that the giving the most holy of sacraments to known sinners completely degraded the entire act and was in itself a sin, thereby making those in the church who knowingly gave communion to these "sinners" also ineligible for the cracker and wine. I was completely floored by this line of reasoning, and even more worried when I realized how effective it might be.
