During the last US Presidential elections, John Kerry, a Catholic who strongly supports abortion on demand, and even voted against a ban on partial-birth abortions, was warned by several US Bishops that he would be refused Holy Communion in their dioceses.
These Bishops were strongly supported by the Vatican in taking this stand. Was this partisan politics, or just putting their foot down on a politician publicly defying a major doctrine of the Catholic Church, while professing to be a Catholic?
