"The" Catholic church has not come out and said it will no longer give communion to politicians who are pro-choice. One Catholic cardinal, obviously a right wing cardinal, decided to inject his own brand of religious politics into the American presidential campaign. That is all this is about.

The Catholic church gives communion to all Catholics, good and bad. The cardinal shooting off his mouth is obviously an idiot, and goes against everything the church stands for, IMO. If priests stopped giving communion to Catholics who don't adhere to every Catholic teaching, they wouldn't have much business on Sundays.
