Cardinal Blase Cupich, head of the Archdiocese of Chicago, plans to honor radically pro-abortion Senator Dick Durbin with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the “Keep Hope Alive” Benefit on November 3.
Cardinal Cupich Will Give Pro-Abort Dick Durbin Lifetime Achievement Award
The award is prompting fierce backlash from pro-life advocates who decry the decision as a betrayal of pro-life Catholic teachings and a grave scandal that violates the sanctity of life.
Illinois Right to Life, a leading statewide pro-life organization, condemned the award, to be presented by the Archdiocese’s Office of Human Dignity and Solidarity, as a stark contradiction to the Church’s unwavering stance on the dignity of the unborn.
“The Church emphasizes that human beings are integrated persons and that we cannot live in spiritual harmony if we are denying even one aspect of the truth of the faith,” said Illinois Right to Life President Mary Kate Zander in comments to LifeNews. “Presenting Dick Durbin with an award – and from the Office of Human Dignity, no less – is an explicitly inconsistent and un-Catholic choice by Cardinal Cupich.
