The more you become involved in America’s domestic politics, the less relevant you become to your American parishioners. Your job has been and still is the salvation of souls, one at a time, if necessary, not the control of government, not the intimidation of voters and not the policy-making of a secular government.

I believe the topic at question is the suitability of a particular Catholic layman to receive communion in the Catholic Church, an issue pretty directly connected to the salvation of the soul of that particular layman. As far as I know, who gets to receive communion in the Catholic Church is not (yet) a matter of government policy, nor -- to be perfectly blunt -- is it really the business of anyone outside the Catholic Church.

"really the business of anyone outside the Catholic Church."

Precisely.
