Any politician who is going to have his church determine his vote won't get mine.

"his church determine his vote "

The church won't tell him how to vote. The Church is telling him he is not in communion with the Catholic Church, and what is wrong with a bishop telling a Catholic that? Are you the one who determines who is Catholic and who isn't?

If a politicial wants to support legalized abortion, he is instructed not to present himself for Communion as though he is in communion with the Church. That is all.

What if his district or state is a majority of one faith and they elect him to do just that?

Isn't that a representative republic?

Any politician who's going to wrap himself in the cloth of Catholicism while refusing to uphold one of their basic moral tenents such as right to life is a hypocrite and does not deserve the vote of anyone. Let them either renounce Catholicism or the baby-killing religion of militant feminism. No man can serve two masters.
