Cardinal Cupich on the Question of Pope’s Animosity Towards JPII Catholics

ROME, November 20, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Sayings which have made Pope Francis the darling of the liberal media are the condemnations against Catholics whom he pejoratively refers to as “obsessed,” “doctors of the law,” “neo-pelagian,” “self-absorbed,” “restorationist,” “fundamentalist,” “rigid,” “ideological,” “hypocritical,” and much more. So many are the insults felt most by Catholics who hold firm to the teachings of Pope St. John Paul II on life and family that only a couple of years into his pontificate a compilation called “The Pope Francis Little Book of Insults” was developed.

Nevertheless, newly elevated Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich says, he’s never heard anything harsh from the Pope. At a press scrum at the North American College, Cardinal Cupich was asked by LifeSiteNews co-founder Steve Jalsevac about the animosity felt by those Catholics who loved and held to the teachings of Pope St. John Paul II – animosity coming even from the Pope in response to critics of Amoris Laetitia. Cupich responded, “I’ve not seen that to be honest with you.”

Cupich cited the Pope’s November 17 interview with the Italian newspaper Avenire in which the Pope makes comments about his Cardinal critics, but didn’t see those comments as being harsh. However, most Catholic Vatican reporters have seen that same article very differently.

As Bill Clinton would say, it depends what the meaning of “honest” is.

A dishonest liberal hack. How anyone can say with a straight face they haven’t seen the contempt constantly poured out by this pope on orthodox believers is beyond me.

Cupich is not merely a liar. He is a man of lies.
