I'd deny Communion to Rudy, says priest

The priest of the Manhattan church where Rudy Giuliani had his second wedding says he would deny the presidential contender Holy Communion because of his public support for abortion.

"Because he publicly is against church teaching, the answer would be no" if Giuliani requested the sacrament, said Msgr. Thomas Modugno.

Modugno is the pastor of St. Monica's, the East Side church where Giuliani wed his second wife, Donna Hanover. The priest did not preside over the wedding.

Giuliani, a lifelong Catholic who once considered the priesthood, has strained to define and defend his abortion stance. Pope Benedict further inflamed this issue with his comment this week that it is proper to refuse Communion to Catholic politicians who accept abortion.
