Durbin Should Not Be Honored by the Catholic Church

Durbin, the highest-ranking Catholic Democrat, is an example of someone who should know better, who should do better. Years ago, Archbishop Charles J. Chaput said that he could not have foreseen that the Democrats would become the party of abortion on demand, because there were too many Catholics in the party. But it’s Democrats like Durbin who have presided over a party that works to defeat the rare pro-life Democrats like former Illinois Congressman Dan Lipinski, a Catholic. He was primaried out of office for being a pro-life Democrat.
