There is a cohort of conservative lay Catholics who seem to be very obsessed about excluding other people from Communion.  Unless they are remarried themselves and have had to use the awful annulment tribunals, I am really confused about why they are so upset about this topic.  It is almost like they enjoy labelling and excluding others.  

And I certainly hope that Pope Francis is scaring the bejeezus out of the ultra-conservative bishops in the Curia as well as their allies in the Vatican.  They are the Catholic equivalent of school yard bullies and neighborhood gossips and have been allowed to harm too many people for far to long.  I certainly hope that Pope Francis stands up to them and puts an end to their decades long reign of terror.
