There are a number of news stories posted on this forum when a pro-abortion politician is seen receiving communion. There is no reason to think the channels of information that lead those stories here don't also flow to Rome. Burke will likely be able to put discreet pressure on the American bishops directly or indirectly responsible for allowing such. With lower-profile politicians, you will (hopefully) have the discipline trickling down, so that local priests and bishops have the courage to deny the Body and Blood.

What I want is a way to assist in helping this discipline trickling down. Perhaps groups of Catholic laymen living near pro-abortion Catholic politicians could monitor these politicians at Mass, to see if they are given communion, then report the scandal to the bishop and/or the Vatican. After all, it is the duty of each individual Catholic to help stop such a public scandal.
