In a sign of solidarity amongst Catholic Bishops, Catholic News Agency has reported that Archdiocese of Washington's Abp. Wuerl will maintain the request of Abp. Naumann that the Obama designated appointee for the position of Director of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, a 30 year advocate for legalized abortion, should not present herself for Communion while in D.C.
This is exactly the kind of unity and solidarity that Catholics hope to see more of from our bishops across the nation!

Keep in mind that you don't "take" Eucharist... you "receive" it. Keep this in mind, our language is very important.
Very true, thanks for catching that.
