Bishop Paprocki discusses background, decision regarding Sen. Durbin
"Senator Durbin was once pro-life," says the Bishop of Springfield, Illinois. "He changed somewhere along the line. I hope he comes back to his roots.
‘A person prohibited from Communion, or even excommunicated, should still go to Mass, however. They have the obligation to attend, and can pray without going to Holy Communion.’
‘Catholic World Report: And what if they present themselves for Communion?’
‘Bishop Paprocki: No one wants a confrontation. These matters are usually addressed in private conversation, as was done by Msgr. Vann in Senator Durbin’s case. This meeting does not take place in church.’
