• Moderator: Governor Romney , what do you say to Roman Catholic bishops who would deny Communion to elected officials who support abortion rights?

• Romney : I don't say anything to Roman Catholic bishops. They can do whatever the heck they want.

(Laughter)

• Romney : Roman Catholic bishops are in a private institution, a religion. And they can do whatever they want in a religion. America doesn't...

• Moderator: Do you see that as interference in public life?

• Romney : Well, I can't imagine a government telling a church who can have Communion in their church. We have a separation of church and state. It's served us well in this country.

• Moderator: **Thank you, Governor.
