God bless His Excellency Bishop Paprocki! Sen. Dick Durbin is now barred from Holy Communion until he repents and amends his ways.
Was this a result of the letter campaign? Honestly, I don’t know. But we can take heart that our letters are being seen and taken into account!
Keep praying folks, and pray that more Bishops and Cardinals will stand up and do the same!

Bishop Paprocki is not a ‘come-lately’ to the fray. He was right out front in the 2012 election:
“Citing the Democratic Party platform plank supporting “safe and legal” abortion, Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Ill., told Catholics in his diocese that their salvation was in “serious jeopardy” should they vote for that plank. “I am not telling you which party or which candidates to vote for or against, but I am saying that you need to think and pray very carefully about your vote,” Paprocki wrote Sept. 23 in his diocesan paper, Catholic Times, “because a vote for a candidate who promotes actions or behaviors that are intrinsically evil and gravely sinful makes you morally complicit and places the eternal salvation of your own soul in serious jeopardy.”

Hopefull, I am well aware of Bishop Paprocki’s fidelity to church teaching. However, it is still edifying to see his actions in regards to the Senator, and I felt it edifying to post about for those who may not be aware. Peace!
but I thought everyone else might not be aware how faithful he is! I’m glad you posted!
I wonder if hell will have shelves where the residents can display their participation awards? Durbin is getting an award from guess who? Has to be either Notre Dame or Georgetown! And the ballot says: GEORGETOWN!
