So is Vance, and for that matter Steve Bannon.

Were I their bishop, neither would be allowed to commune at Mass.

aw come on… Christ held the last supper with Judas Iscariot right near him. Washed his feet, broke bread and even drank wine with the man

Judas hadn’t repeatedly and egregiously engaged in the sorts of things Vance and Bannon have, and both have been called on those repeatedly – which makes Matthew 18 pertinent.
There are bishops who cut Catholics off from Mass for strong pro-abortion activity; the other side shouldn’t get off free. The sort of U.S.A. that Vance and Bannon envision would by poor and cruel where the law is a tool of the wealthy, and that is just as bad IMO as vigorous advocacy for unlimited abortion.
