Like California, Illinois is one of those states that has been run by Democrats for so long they are on the verge of financial collapse. Jesus has already seen fit to permanently affix the look of a village idiot on the Illinois Democrat Senator Dick (Head) Durbin, but the voters keep electing him (or maybe we should say the dead in Chicago keep voting for him).
The cathylicks have had plenty of opportunity over the past half-century to deny wafers or otherwise excommunicate a long line of cathylick Democrat politicians for killing babies and yet failed to do so.
For the most part 'ol Dick (Head) Durbin would rarely rise above the noise level when it comes to the cathylicks (and Democrats), but inquiring minds would like to know - why start now? Is this a sign that the papists are finally getting "religion"? Is 'ol Dick so repulsive that someone had to do something?
One has to commend Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki for at least having the courage to take a stand, but from the history of the papists it's probably just some window dressing.

Catholic Bishop Denies Communion to Pro-Abortion Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin: “Until He Repents of His Sin”

Pro-life Catholics who wish Catholic Church leaders would step up and deny communion to leading politicians who support abortion are getting good news today.
One Catholic bishop is denying communion to pro-abortion Democrat Dick Durbin, a top Democrat in the Senate who has long supported and promoted abortion. Durbin joined other Democrats to block a bill banning abortions after 20 weeks.
Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois says Durbin is “cooperating in evil” and persisting in “manifest grave sin” because of his abortion advocacy and must therefore “not be admitted to Holy Communion until he repents of his sin.”
In a statement on the Diocese of Springfield website, Bishop Paprocki said, “Fourteen Catholic senators voted against the bill that would have prohibited abortions starting at 20 weeks after fertilization, including Sen. Richard Durbin, whose residence is in the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois.”

A 2013 letter from Pope Francis says pro-abortion politicians should not be eligible for communion in the Catholic Church.
In the letter, Pope Francis directed the Argentinean bishops to govern the Church there following the Aparecida Document.
The text states, in part, “[people] cannot receive Holy Communion and at the same time act with deeds or words against the commandments, particularly when abortion, euthanasia, and other grave crimes against life and family are encouraged. This responsibility weighs particularly over legislators, heads of governments, and health professionals.”
“These are the guidelines we need for this time in history,” the pope wrote to the bishops.
