      I see a lot of conservatives gloating about this but I think telling observant Catholic liberals and Democrats they’re not wanted or welcome in the Church is not going to work out the way they seem to think it will.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/18/us/targeting-biden-catholic-bishops-advance-controversial-communion-plan.html?referringSource=articleShare …

      The religious right has devoted a substantial amount of effort to proving religious obligations are secondary to partisan politics; the American trend towards secularism is not unrelated.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/05/americans-religion-rightwing-politics-decline …

      If that’s the result it will surely increase conservative Catholics sense of siege, but you can’t kick everyone out of your house and then whine about being lonely. I mean you can I guess.

      Would be good to talk to a historian of Catholicism but my sense is that USA has been a bit exceptional in church not having partisan identity (until now) -- and that impact of it being partisan in Europe & South America is fiercer anti-Catholicism.

      It had a very strong partisan identity for a very long time here!

      As Democratic? Maybe, but that always seemed more informal than the real tight bond European & South American churches have had with political parties.

          Yeah, but its not like they were denying communion to Whigs and Republicans on policy grounds. The current situation seems like a real escalation.

          I can’t speak to the international comparison, but “Rum, Romanism and Rebellion” was the Republican line about the Dems for years

          Yeah, but the point of comparison with the current moment would be if the church tried to deny communion to Republican Catholics on policy ground. Which I don't think happened. The current move seems like a strong escalation.
