What is the "obvious problem" with a church official expecting followers to follow and believers to believe?
How the Catholic Church handles its INTERNAL dogma issues is up to them.
I have no problem if elected officials ignore this religious dictate. Both they and the church officials are making choices. If the politicians ignore what the church leaders say, there will be religious results.
The religious leader here has EVERY RIGHT to "withhold communion if his demands are not met." He is, after all, a religious LEADER.
But it's not a matter of money. It's a matter of religion.
