In a somewhat conflicting article, the Catholic Church has awarded Sen. Dick Durbin with some type of award. Early in the article it says Se. Durbin has opted out of accepting the award, and then later it quotes a Cardinal that says Durbin will not be receiving the award due to pressure from Bishops. Either way, how hypocritical of Catholics to even consider giving any award to a politician who is in favor of killing babies.
In a significant development, Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois has opted not to accept an award from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago. The decision follows backlash over his abortion advocacy, which prompted discussions among Catholic leaders and calls for a response from Pope Leo XIV.
Cardinal Blase Cupich announced that Durbin will not be receiving the award at the upcoming Keep Hope Alive Benefit. This decision was influenced by pressure from several bishops who urged Cupich to reconsider due to Durbin’s pro-abortion stance, which contradicts Catholic teachings.
Later, the Cardinal says, ...argued for a more nuanced approach, suggesting that “Total condemnation is not the way forward, for it shuts down discussion… But praise and encouragement can open it up, by asking their recipients to consider how to extend their good work to other areas and issues.”
