The report says everyone who is out of line with the important church teaching on abortion needs to examine their heart before taking the sacrament.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The bishops adopted the new document on communion on a 201-24 vote with two bishops abstaining from voting.<\/span><\/p>\n

The document specifically makes reference to its application to all Catholics, not just candidates or elected officials.<\/span><\/p>\n
