Will there be a movement to deny Ryan communion?

Fair is fair...

No, because he does, indeed, follow the Catholic Church's backwards-ass social morality.

The US Council of Bishops, which is extremely conservative for a Catholic organization, strongly condemned the Ryan budget.

Great post from realisticidealist, although I don't gloss over the Church's anti-gay stance in real life.  Not that I ever have to, since most Mississippians see the Church as pro-gay by comparison.

There should be no denial of Communion, even to Protestants and non-Christians.  If God doesn't want someone taking Communion, he can sort it out in the afterlife.


But someone should try to deny it to Paul Ryan just to show conservative Catholics who like him how it feels.

1, Catholics believe in the Real Presence, many protestants do not. Ergo - it is inappropriate for them to take communion because they do not understand what they are doing.

Perhaps, but we should let God sort that out.

2, God has made it very clear that Communion should only be taken in a worthy manner. This applies to everyone.

Is His word not good enough for you?

No he hasn't, so no.  Nowhere in the Bible does it say who can and can't have Communion, and even if it did, it would just be some silliness written down by a person and put into the Bible cannon for political reasons centuries later.
