Romney response to Catholic and Abortion questions

I loved the responses of Mitt Romney to all of the questions directed at him during the debate, but two of these especially stuck out in my mind.

The first of these was the question regarding the change Romney has had in his stance on abortion. His response was clear, concise, and honest. The moderator followed-up by saying that his change on the issue seemed very convenient (which is not true as his stance evolved several years ago while he was Governor of MA). But Romney responded very well by repeating exactly what he had stated initially. It came across very well I thought.

The second was the question from Chris Matthews about Roman Catholics preventing certain public officials from taking communion. This seemed to me to be an absolutely absurd question to be asking during a Presidential debate, but Romney seized the opportunity, joked about it and then proceeded to, basically, lecture Chris Matthews about the principle of separation of Church and State.
