The Senator Gets Cross-Checked
A pro-life activist recently emailed Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki of
Springfield, Ill., regarding pro-abortion "Catholic" U.S. Senator Dick
Durbin, D-Ill.
Bishop Paprocki responded:
Dear Mr. [name redacted], Senator Durbin was informed several years ago by his pastor at Blessed Sacrament Parish here in Springfield that he was not permitted to receive Holy Communion per canon 915 of the Code of Canon Law. My predecessor upheld that decision and it remains in effect. It is my understanding that the senator is complying with that decision here in the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois.
