Cardinal: Officials who support abortion should not receive Communion

People gather for a May 4 pro-life demonstration in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican. According to organizers, more than 50 pro-life groups active in some 20 countries took part in the march.

ROME - Catholic politicians and judges who support laws in conflict with Church teaching on abortion, euthanasia, marriage and related issues commit "sacrilege" and cause "grave scandal" if they receive Communion, said the U.S. cardinal who heads the Vatican's highest court.
