And if the Church’s pronouncements on the depth and scope of the abortion wrong lead to denial of communion for pro-choice Catholic politicians, isn’t there a pretty good argument that a devout Catholic judge — including a lower court judge — must view enforcing Roe and Casey as so great a wrong that s/he must choose recusal or resignation instead?  Of course there are the arguments that this would deprive the nation of the service of Catholics who would make good contributions on other issues — but one could say that of politicians as well, and the position denying communion to them seems to rest on a rejection of such a balancing calculus.  If one offers reasons why the judge could stay on the case or bench and follow Roe, is one thereby implicitly assigning the wrong of abortion a little bit lower seriousness than the arguments for the denial of communion to politicians suggested?
