The Archdiocese of Chicago is scheduled to present Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., a "Lifetime Achievement Award" for his work on immigration issues in November, but the decision has been criticized by some Catholic bishops over Durbin's public position on abortion. "Bishop Paprocki is correct that both clarity and unity are at risk. The Diocese of Springfield has barred Durbin from receiving Communion in his home diocese over his position on abortion. Durbin is also known for his efforts to pass immigration reform and has introduced several pieces of legislation to do so, including some bipartisan efforts. Cupich also said, "Senator Durbin informed me some years ago that he has taken up residence in Chicago, registered in a parish of the archdiocese and considers me to be his bishop."
