HAS CARDINAL CUPICH LOST FAVOR?

 

Under Pope Francis, Cardinal Cupich took it upon himself to be the Cardinal-face of the American Hierarchy touting all that Pope Francis wanted and more. 

I could be wrong, so please correct me, but I think Cardinal Cupich went directly to the pope, bypassing the then Prefect for the Dicastery of Bishops, Robert Cardinal Prevost, to get the Bishop of San Diego, also a Cardinal, not his Metropolitan, the Archbishop of Los Angeles, named the Cardinal-Archbishop of Washington, DC. 

Just as Pope Francis caused polarization in the Universal Church, Cardinal Cupich, backed by Pope Francis, caused polarization in the American Hierarchy. 

Well, Cardinal Cupich is still causing polarization in the American Hierarchy, but it appears that bishops are quite willing to speak out against what Cardinal Cupich is doing, which may not have happened under Pope Francis.

There’s a new sheriff in town, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV and other bishops, not aligned with Cardinal Cupich, are speaking up boldly, with Parrhesia.

Here is a list of bishops now opposing Cardinal Cupich’s Twlight Zonish, or is it, Cupich Zonish, honoring of pro-abortion “Catholic” Senator Durbin:

Bishop Carl A. Kemme of the Diocese of Wichita, Kansas, on Thursday joined several other bishops in urging Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago to retract his planned “lifetime achievement award” for pro-abortion, pro-LGBT Democratic Senator Richard Durbin.

Archbishop Salvatore Cordilione of San Francisco, Bishop Thomas John Paprocki of Springfield, IL, Bishop David Ricken of Green Bay, Wisconsin, Bishop James Conley of Lincoln, Nebraska, Bishop James Wall of Gallup, New Mexico, and Bishop Michael Olson of Fort Worth, Texas, as well as Bishop Joseph Strickland of no diocese, have also joined the pushback against Cupich’s plan to award the radically pro-abortion senator.
