Mixing Politics and Religion

Very very interesting post in the Johnson County Sun

The conflict between Archbishop Joseph Naumann, of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, and Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, a Catholic, is one of those airings you would rather not watch. The archbishop says the governor should stop accepting Communion until she gives up her support of abortion. Sebelius shows no signs of complying.

Thus, at this point, the uncomfortable situation seems beyond reconciliation.

This must be most difficult for both of them. He sees a member of the flock straying from a deep-held church belief. She is being chastised publicly for her totally different take, a pro-choice position in direct opposition to that of the church.

This might not be such a public confrontation if Sebelius were not governor of Kansas. The disagreement has touched off widespread discussion and speculation. What additional action could or should the church take? Should the leader, by calling out Sebelius, step into a public issue?
