Pro-Abort Durbin Declines to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award from Cardinal Cupich After Backlash

Breitbart-

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) decided against receiving a “Lifetime Achievement Award” for his work on immigration from Chicago Cardinal Blase J. Cupich after facing harsh opposition from several Catholic bishops and pro-life organizations for his longstanding support of abortion.

Cupich said in a statement Sept. 30 that Durbin had declined the award, which was supposed to be presented in November at the archdiocese’s “Keep Hope Alive” celebration, the Catholic Standard reported. Cupich and the Archdiocese of Chicago’s Office of Human Dignity and Solidarity Immigration Ministry were supposed to give the award to Durbin. 

“While I am saddened by this news, I respect his decision,” Cardinal Cupich said in his statement. “But I want to make clear that the decision to present him an award was specifically in recognition of his singular contribution to immigration reform and his unwavering support of immigrants, which is so needed in our day.” more

  1. Sure, he kills babies and lies about everything including his military service, BUT he likes immigrants that the Catholic Church gets millions to bring im here, so that washes all his sins away, right?

  2. Durbin, Biden, Pelosi and any Catholic should have been EXCOMMUNICATED long ago. Centuries ago, they would have been burned at the stake for their Blasphemy.
    The Catholic Church are more concerned about offending tithing catholics than teaching the Word of God. No different of many Christian Churches.

  3. I predict one day the American Catholic church will break away from the European fruit loops. This Pope might have been born here but he does not represent the American Catholics values.

  4. Why is a religious organization giving an award to a politician who circumvents the legal authority of his host nation and encourages, aids, and abets illegal (criminal) activity?

  5. We’re often invited to services conducted by nondenominational pastors who do not pander to parasites. They come right out and tell it like it is. Their attendance steadily increases; services have to be added. Such a contrast to our priests who can’t say anything because it will irritate half the parish. Rewarding the likes of Dick Durbin is heading in the wrong direction.
