Archbishop Burke: all bishops should follow canon law

Burke quietly told about 200 people at the Pewaukee dinner that it should be routine for all bishops to withhold Holy Communion from Catholic politicians whose votes support abortion or euthanasia because canon law allows no other option when people stubbornly persist in such grave public scandals.

"People have asked me if I regret having taken the action that I did, and all of the publicity that has resulted, especially people who know that by nature I'm not very fond of controversy. And my response to that is, my only regret is that it took me so long to figure out what I needed to do and to do it."
