Bishop Thomas John Paprocki of the Diocese of Springfield, Ill., has barred Sen. Dick Durbin from receiving Holy Communion for his recent vote against a bill that would have banned late-term abortions.

Paprocki, who heads the Roman Catholic community in the Springfield area, made his decision last week to ban the senator from receiving the sacrament after the Senate failed to pass The Pain-Capable Unborn Children’s Act last month.
