I see you've been on FR for 2 years. You don't spend much time on the Religion forum do you? First, and least indisputably, Bernadin was responsible for the seamless garment crapola that people like Kennedy, Kerry, and other pro-death pols use to justify their completely non-Catholic outlook on abortion.
More arguably, he was a homosexual who aided and abetted the lavender mafia in the takeover of the American Church. FYI, his accuser, never really recounted his story. He just claimed he no longer could be sure what was real and what was imagined.
I'm sorry but I have trouble believing this about Cardinal Bernadin. Granted there was a huge coverup in the Chicago archdiocese about abusive priests but that also was going on in other states.
