And there you have the problem. Catholic politicians who are pro-choice can't take communion, or so many are advocating, because the Pope said so. Now, will people say that Catholic politicians who support the Iraq war as it is currently being pursued should also not receive communion?

The USA does not answer to the Pope, and never should.
