Not as good as excommunicating those bastards but it is a start by withholding the Sacrament of communion.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan and state Senate President John Cullerton have been banned from receiving Holy Communion at Catholic churches in the Diocese of Springfield.

Bishop Thomas Paprocki issued the ban as a response to Catholic lawmakers supporting The Reproductive Health Act. He said there is a Catholic rule that if someone has committed a private sin, that person should not receive communion.

Madigan said he was warned about the ban before he voted on the bill.

The bishop said his decision was meant to protect the integrity of the church.
