The U.S. bishops' conference has previously said that 'Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles.'
(LifeSiteNews) — Catholic watchdog site Complicit Clergy launched an urgent campaign encouraging American Catholics to contact the overwhelming majority of bishops who have not spoken out against Cardinal Blase Cupich’s decision to award pro-abortion Democratic Senator Richard Durbin with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
The campaign, launched on Sunday, commends the 10 bishops who have already denounced Cupich’s plans and provides contact information for the remaining ordinaries.
Cupich plans to honor the staunchly pro-abortion Durbin, who identifies as Catholic but has supported partial-birth abortion, with a Lifetime Achievement Award “for support of immigrants” at the upcoming “Keep Hope Alive” benefit on November 3.
Back in 2004, as a result of his pro-abortion senatorial votes, Durbin was prohibited from receiving Holy Communion in his home diocese of Springfield, Illinois.
