Communion is an anonymous act, between the penitent and God. The priest, as intermediary, treats each individual with complete anonymity. It is not his role to turn anyone away from the communion table. It is the responsibility of the penitent to accept the body of Christ with a clear conscience.
The rationale of lapsed political Christians who claim, falsely, that their political responsibilities are separate and distinct from their religious obligations are in mortal danger of damnation.
