Terrible loss. He was a good bishop and a good man.

Eternal life grant unto him, O lord
And let perpetual light shine upon him.

May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed,
Through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.

Good man. He couldn’t fix the Church in Chicago completely, because there wouldn’t have been enough priests left to run the parishes. But he certainly did what he could to pull it back from the ruins he inherited.

This will regrettably speed the granting a red hat to Cupich who seems to be a regression toward the sorry “standards” of the unlamented Bernardin. The Catholic Church in Chicago and in Illinois will suffer accordingly. Francis Cardinal George will be sorely missed. He did a magnificent job against all odds. May God grant him eternal rest and a permanent joy in the presence of the Beatific Vision.
