San Diego Bishop Robert Brom ignores Canon 915

In the ongoing debate over Holy Communion and politics, San Diego Roman Catholic Bishop Robert Brom said in a statement released yesterday that Catholic politicians who support abortion should not be banned from receiving the sacrament.

"In my judgment at this time, it is not prudent to deny Holy Communion to Catholics in political life because of their public support for abortion on demand," Brom said in the statement, which also went to priests in the diocese.

Instead, he said, any Catholic who is not following church teaching should on their own refrain from celebrating the sacrament.
