Michael Novak provided much needed clarity on the subject of politics and the eucharist in National Review yesterday.
He wrote, "in Catholic teaching every person must follow the verdict of his or her own conscience, even if that means breaking communion with the teaching of the Church. The Church is for free women and men, not for slaves. But this freedom, in those few matters that are as important as the taking of innocent life in abortion, does confront the legislator with a choice: either to remain in communion or to leave."
Worth reading.
