Somebody isn't telling the truth

* Background is here if you need it. Springfield Bishop Thomas John Paprocki was asked today if he believed in the concept of separation of church and state. He said he did and said…

This is not a case of the church trying to tell government officials what to do. It’s not intended as a political statement, it is intended, in fact it’s being issued after the vote here because it’s a statement really talking about the integrity of what it means to be a Catholic.


* From Speaker Madigan’s statement…

I was notified by Bishop Paprocki that if I permitted the House of Representatives to debate and pass the Reproductive Health Act, I would no longer be allowed to accept the sacrament of communion.


…Adding… Tribune…

Madigan and Cullerton would be allowed to receive the church sacrament again in Springfield if they make a public statement and introduce legislation to repeal the recently passed abortion bill, the bishop said.

I'm sticking with Madigan and Cullerton. I thank God every day that they, along with JB, are in Springfield and have the backs of every day working people. If the rest of the country wants to know what the Democratic Party stands for, look to the Democratic leaders in Illinois. No doubts about it in my mind.
