The Vatican, going further than in 2004, declares that anyone who supports or votes for a "pro-choice" candidate when there is a "pro-life" candidate running is in mortal sin and not allowed to receive communion.

They make a similar declaration requiring Roman Catholics, on pain of mortal sin, to vote against all referenda that would give gays and lesbians equal rights, or any candidate who supported such rights.

Then, they likewise demand that Roman Catholics vote for resolutions and candidates that would outlaw artificial birth-control. (Sound far-fetched? I remember attending Mass in one SoCal parish where the congregation was required to join in intercessions that God would so move the hearts of our public officials to outlaw contraception.)
