Judge Sara Smolenski, the chief judge of the state's 63rd District Court, told CNN that she was called by the Rev. Scott Nolan, the priest at St. Stephen's Catholic Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on November 23.
During the call he requested that she no longer attend communion at the church, saying, "It was good to see you in church on Sunday.
