Last night Zoe posted the news that Cardinal Egan publicly admonished Rudy Giuliani for taking communion during the pope's visit to New York. Egan explained that he had an understanding with the former mayor that he would not present himself for the Eucharist.

At the papal Mass at National's Stadium, communion was received by Sen. Pelosi, Sen. Kerry, Sen. Dodd, and Sen. Kennedy. Bob Novak reported they were given communion by the papal nuncio, Archbishop Pietro Sambi, though the photographs posted on InsideCatholic.com show that Sen. Kerry received communion from a dark-haired priest, obviously not Sambi. The gray-haired priest giving communion to Sen. Dodd could be Sambi, but it's hard to tell.

Question: What will Archbishop Wuerl of Washington, DC do now that Cardinal Egan has spoken out on the issue?

I predict he will not follow Egan's example. If Sambi gave communion to the pro-abortion Catholic senators then Wuerl's hands are tied.
