Actually, as worded, yes the Alabama bill would infringe upon the sacrament of confession as well as the sacrament of the eucharist.

Turns out the CONSTITUTION itself clearly exempts the government from regulating "establishments of religion" ~ to wit, Communion.

Odds are good you can't get a US Marshall or a County Sheriff out there to bust heads over Communion. Just not going to happen!

Ludicrous. Does it require the priest to say "Say 10 Hail Mary's and 5 Our Father's and show me your birth certificate"?

I was at mass a while back and during the sermon the visiting priest asked us all to support amnesty. I asked my (ex) lady at the time what the hell this speech has to do with a Mass service? She agreed (one of the few times I was "right" about something in her eyes, lol).

Our bishops need to learn quickly that social justice and democrat politics damage the church far more than anything else has done. Save the social justice for charity and volunteer work (as I do), not liberal legislation.
