Bp. Paprocki: USCCB oversteps in statement on public sector unions

God's Goalie

Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, has publicly criticized the brief and said the U.S. bishops’ views had not been solicited.

“There is the presumption of a consensus on this issue, when it is not clear to me that we have that consensus,” Bishop Paprocki told the Register in an interview following this week’s oral arguments for the Janus case.

“While the Church … supports freedom of association for workers, it is not part of Church teaching that someone who is not a member of a union must still pay dues,” Bishop Paprocki said.
