In a private memorandum, top Vatican prelate Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger told American bishops that Communion must be denied to Catholic politicians who support legal abortion.

Uh,......what does the Pope have to 'say' about this 'private' memorandum?

Is this o.k.d by Mecca?

/sarcasm

Wait, are you trying to say the Pope doesn't have control of his Cardinals and what they may or may not send out as memos?

The whole complaint against Kerry is that he is defying the Vatican. Are you suggesting this Cardinal is doing so as well?

If Cardinal Ratzinger released this memorandum, you can be assured that 1) the Holy Father knows about it, and 2) the Holy Father approves of it. They're very close.
