He's daring them on moral grounds, meaning he'd call them out for applying the sanction with partiality (which they can't do if true). Nonetheless Rep. Lieu should abstain from Communion because, again, his faith would tell him not to "pluck specks from another's eye when there's a beam in his own."

In Fort Worth on Saturday, the Rev. Jim Gigliotti drafted a letter to Representative Ted Lieu, a Catholic Democrat from California, writing “your very soul is in jeopardy” and informing him that he would be refused Communion if he happened to attend Mass at Mr. Gigliotti’s parish.

“Confrontation is a ministry of caring,” Father Gigliotti said.

Mr. Lieu, in a series of tweets after the bishops’ vote, had called them “ hypocrites” for not instructing former attorney general William P. Barr to abstain from the Eucharist because of his employment of the death penalty when he served under Mr. Trump. Mr. Lieu dared the bishops to deny him Communion, pointing out that he supports contraception, the right to same-sex marriage and “a woman’s right to choose,” which are all violations of Catholic teaching.
