““I’m sorry, I’m a pro-life Catholic but I disagree with this selective meddling into politics.”

As a fellow Catholic, I wholeheartedly agree.”

I don’t think he’s meddling at all. He is making a statement about the faith. He hasn’t said don’t come to Mass. He has said do not take Communion.

There is a difference between being nominally Catholic and actually living the faith.

As a Bishop, he is exhorting the people to live the faith. He’s perfectly within his right to do so. The politicians can make the choice of being Catholic or not.

Actually, it is much more than "within his right..."

He is merely fulfilling his vows; which has become so unusual as to appear almost odd in these dark days.
