What most catholics fail to recognize is that the separation of church and state doesn't just protect the government from the church, but it also protects the church from the government.

CNN.com - Legislators protest communion recommendation - May 21, 2004:

"The legislators said denying communion to Catholics based on political beliefs would have 'the effect of miring the church in partisan politics and allowing the church to be used for partisan purposes,' and would 'bring great harm to the church.'"

This is my favorite paragraph in the whole letter and I think summarizes the position better than anything else:

The writers said they do not believe it is their role to transform the teachings of the Catholic Church into legislation, noting "we live in a nation of laws and the Supreme Court has declared that our Constitution provides women with the right to an abortion." Further, they said, they are sworn to represent all Americans not just Catholics.
