My mom’s boss (she works at church, so a Priest) is fed up with “Soupy” as they call him and is thinking about asking for a transfer to Michigan.
So I tell her this red pope is probably installing libtard bishops EVERYWHERE and she says yeah. She’s long flirted with moving to the San Diego area herself, but she says this jerk down there, Bishop McElroy, is even worse than Soupy.
I'm way ahead of her. I left the Archdiocese of Chicago in 2009. The Catholic parish I joined is under the jurdiction of the Eparchy of Parma, although the parish itself is physically right on the Cook County-Will County border in southwest Chicagoland. Our pastor is also very outspoken against the cult of Obama, abortion, gay "rights", and islamofacism.
Still, I would say many conservatives complaining about Cupich seem to be looking back at the Cardinal George years with rose-colored glasses. I don't like Cupich one bit and I think he's significantly to the left of Cardinal George. But I can't say he's rocked the boat much in terms of the Archdiocese's policies. Under Cardinal George's reign, the "official" policy was handing out communion to pro-abortion politicians, asking Catholics to donate to the "Catholic Campaign for Human Development" (which should be called the Catholic Campaign to Elect Democrats, all the money goes to leftist "social justice" causes), and Cardinal George himself marching in the rally for "undocumented" aliens.
Don't get me wrong, I met Cardinal George in the flesh and I actually think he was a decent guy, but the Archdiocese of Chicago overall has been leaning left for a LONG time. Cupich's policies are simply nothing new.
