Marie Griffith on Red Mass | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: The only time Red Mass would be unseemly is if the celebrant tried to play hardball on life issues and deny Communion to anyone for not toeing the Church line on abortion.  That would be asking them to put their faith above their constiutional oath and that could never be allowed - and because bishops are appointed by the emissary of a foreign government, it would also be seditious.  There is definitely a line between providing teaching and coercing decisions and the Church dare not cross it.
