The Pillar has an article on The Cupich Zone you can read HERE.
A moneybyte:
After criticism from a fellow Illinois bishop, Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich on Monday doubled down on the archdiocese’s decision to honor U.S. Senator Dick Durbin, a longtime supporter of legal protection for abortion.
In a Sept. 22 statement, the cardinal said his decision to confer an award on Durbin is in line with Vatican guidance on the need for dialogue with politicians who oppose Church teaching on abortion.

Cupich is a leftist and an intellectual lightweight, a Democrat masquerading as a priest, and not in the same league as Bishop Paprocki
"Dialogue" means giving a lifetime achievement award? Huh?
Cardinal Bernardin himself (God have mercy) said, as the Pillar quotes via Bishop Paprocki, "some people on the left … have used the consistent ethic to give the impression that the abortion issue is not all that important anymore, that you should just be against abortion in a general way but there are more important issues, so don’t hold anybody’s feet to the fire just on abortion. That’s a misuse of the consistent ethic, and I deplore it."
And Durbin has not "just be[en] against abortion in a general way" while focusing on "more important issues[.]"
We shouldn't be surprised from this dreck by Cupich. Only recently he attacked trad-oriented Catholics using the words of a Lutheran-turned-Orthodox thinker, and that's just his most recent overt nonsense. I am surprised it has been made public, and I hope we can, as Cardinal Bernardin said, "hold [his and Durbin's] feet to the fire" on this blatant scandal.

Of only very-tangential note, the Archdiocese of Chicago has added more new bishops in the last year than priests. I guess that's Cupich's "faith of the living"

PLS God Cupich needs to retire and go away. He is corrosive
Interesting, obviously Cupich was aware the award would be controversial and stepping on Paprocki’s territory.
TJM,
Cupich is generally described as a church moderate although anyone left of Attila the Hin is probably considered far left by yourself.
Interesting Cupich has censored politicians on abortion himself…
In 2018, Cupich censured Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner for approving abortion rights after allegedly promising not to,[79] and at a March for Life rally in Chicago, Cupich said abortion is an important issue and argued that it is in other issues that the Church's witness seems to be deficient, saying "We also have to care about that baby once that baby is born."[80]

Sounds like Patrick’s lacks a sense of humour. I’m far from a Trump supporter but I thought his pope meme was hilarious!
Sure, by America magazine. So a moderate to them is leftist to Catholics.

Cupich fits right in with Gov. Pritzker of Illinois, both live in an alternate world of reality. One of Illinois' best political commentators, John Kass, lays it all out!

It is all but futile, if not futile, to fit our Churchmen into tidy categories. But as I have played that game frequently...
I view Cardinal Cupich in the "moderate" category. Beyond that, Cardinal Cupich possesses solid theological credentials. It is obvious that he is blessed with intellectual prowess. I appreciate his wonderful loyalty to, as well as enthusiasm for, Pope Leo XIV.
Above all, I believe that Cardinal Cupich is a holy man.
Pax.

I believe... it is obvious... okay, right.

Just a little reminder that Durbin voted against: a ban on abortion after 20 weeks, at which point medical science believes fetuses experience pain; a ban on partial-birth abortion, a procedure in which a baby is mostly born, leaving the head in the vaginal canal, at which point the abortician punctures the baby's skull and sucks out his or her brain, then removes the baby's head from the vaginal canal and discards the body; among other possible reasonable (assuming allowing any abortion is reasonable) regulations.
But hey, he supports immigrants and Cupich thinks giving him a lifetime achievement award is dialogue. So, all good, right?
Nick
Cupich is "holy" like Biden and Pelosi, bigtime abortion droolers!
