I wonder if the pope would refuse communion to Rudy if he got elected president?

The difference here is Archbishop Burke will receive praise from the Left. Liberals believe that Rooty is unworthy of Communion for tormenting Blacks and the poor.

Attention Catholic Church: 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.

Repeated references to the archbishop’s position as “opinion” are attempts to diminish it.

I thought those multiple marriages also disqualified him for communion, no?

“Giuliani’s response: “Archbishops have a right to their opinion.”

Rudy - it is not an opinion...it’s Church Law. Idiot.

Even Rudy would not have the happy rocks to try and receive Communion. Has Cardinal Egan given RG Communion?

Burke, the Archbishop of St. Louis, was asked by The St. Louis Post-Dispatch if he would...

Ah, the probing for a hypothetical to stir up controversy. Yet another shallow stunt from the decaying news media.

Rudy’s been divorced. Why would he even think about going?

"Everybody has a right to their opinion.""

Oh, it's a LOT more than "opinion", it's the rule of the church.

Displaying such attitude of disregard is part proof why Giuliani is such a fake.

Burke says that anyone administering Communion is morally obligated to deny it to Catholic politicians who support an abortion-rights position contrary to church teaching.

Several other bishops have said politicians should refrain from the sacrament if they oppose the church on such an important issue.

Not just "politicians" but all who call themselves "Catholic" should be refused Communion if they support abortion in any way.

That's my opinion, but I'm not Catholic.

If you marry in the Catholic church and later get divorced and then re-marry, then you are still married in the eyes of the Catholic church and are commiting adultery.
The Catholic church does not recognize divorce unless the marriage is annulled.
