Cardinal Cupich, one of the main organizers of the summit and lead prelate of the delegation from the United States, emerged as an immediate proponent of the Vatican summit when at the last minute, the Holy See blocked the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) from pursuing its agenda to address clergy sexual abuse at the groups meeting last November.
The Chicago Archbishop’s appointment to a high profile at the summit raised eyebrows from the outset because he dismissed Archbishop Viganò’s testimony on the McCarrick abuse cover-up as a mere “rabbit hole” distracting the Church. As evidenced at today’s press conference, Cupich continues to believe that homosexuality is not a significant contributing factor in the abuse of minors, despite statistics showing otherwise.
At a press conference today, former Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi announced the list of featured speakers and the topics they will be discussing at the upcoming meeting:
The Vatican also released the lists of participants in the meeting. The list is included on a dedicated website that is meant to provide resources for journalists and concerned Catholics during the meeting.
Taking part in the meeting, at which Pope Francis will be present, will be the Heads of the Oriental Catholic Churches; the Superiors of the Secretariat of State; the Prefects of the Congregations for the Doctrine of the Faith, for the Oriental Churches, for Bishops, for the Evangelization of Peoples, for the Clergy, for Institutes of Consecrated Life and for Societies of Apostolic Life, and of the Dicastery for Laity, the Family and Life; the Presidents of the Episcopal Conferences; and representatives of the Union of Superiors General and of the International Union of Superiors General.
The full list of participants includes:
Al told, there will be 190 Summit participants at the four day summit hosted by the Vatican, beginning this Thursday.
On Saturday evening, participants will adjourn from the synod hall to attend a “Penitential Liturgy,” in the Sala Regia in the Apostolic Palace, where Sunday Mass will be held the following morning.
Pope Francis will be present at the penitential liturgy but is not expected to deliver a homily.

Liberal = corrupt.
Period.
Frankie has replaced the Bible and the Catholic Catechism with Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals.”
I’m picking you three foxes to guard that henhouse over there.
And to who was “Rules for Radicals” explicitely dedicated...?
Hmmmm...
Precisely.
My thought exactly. He could put up a list of nominations and allow a few weeks for anyone to challenge the integrity of any of them to serve on this body. I suspect it would take months to get a slate that would stand up to that kind of public scrutiny.
They mistitled it.
The Protection of Predatory Pedophile Priests is more like it.
Cupich will spend 4 or 5 minutes talking about the abuse and the remaining 55 minutes of his speech talking about Climate Change and open borders immigration. According to him, those are the real issues that the abuse allegations should not distract the church from.
“Minors” would not include seminarians, apparently.
Low hanging fruit. Just had to respond for the newcomers.

I don’t know about the other two but Cupich is a piece of work.
Something about “Birds of a feather”...
There is a bit of irony and repetitiveness regarding this pope, and our society, which is coming unglued.
In a “nutshell”, Karl Marx saw that his father (who was Jewish), was willing to compromise, to join the popular Lutheran Church, as in it’s time and place, it was the popular organization for economic and community leaders. As well, Karl’s father knew his son was a rebel, and he decided he wanted to try and put Karl Marx in seminary. At the same time, Karl Marx chose not to believe in God. Marx first of all, decided to believe in evolution, and wanted to live a life of no moral boundaries. Marx went on to attack and rebel against individual responsibility, representative/parliamentary goverent, and attack the traditional family, in favor of total government control over all of society. He wanted to be god of his own life. Marx wanted total control, and could not tolerate the idea of a creator God.
While parenthetical to a point, it is true, the KGB (a tool of the atheistic communist state), did work for years to create and spread “liberation theology” throughout “Latin America” first. “LT” is not “Theology”, but rather a humanistic perversion, designed to attack both the foundations and core doctrines of Scripture, to cause the masses to question God, and to desire to be their own god’s.
So, in their minds, now that man becomes god, government becomes god. And man gets to determine morality!
Anyone who espoused the moral boundaries God requires, naturally becomes the enemy to be eliminated with prejudice!
There cannot exist a peaceful “live side by side”, as there cannot be two equal sovereigns in society.
Darwin was a rebel, Marx was a rebel, Alinsky was a rebel, and all flavors of “liberation theology” are rebel, and at war with God, individual responsibility, and morality!
If not stopped by God’s mercy and grace, liberty will very quickly be eradicated and replaced by real slavery, to a truly totalitarian state, ruled by immoral human gods!
Right now I am reading Francisco Suarez's work on the law. Fortunately, he is easy to read.
Disconnecting from God is always the first step. Every tyrant has worked to put in a wedge between God and man. This pope is no exception. There is no other way to analyze it.
We must realize that all of this was foreordained by Christ Himself. "When you see these things come to pass look up and know that your salvation is at hand."
But, we are left to figure out what to do when all seems to be crumbling around us.
This is the time at which we must increase our faith, our prayer and our knowledge of what is happening. We must buck up those around us who are flagging in their faith.
For me I am praying even more than I ever have before, which increases my faith and I am trying to keep myself informed enough to help inform my friends and family and pray for those less interested.
At some point this issue will be everyone' business.
Thanks much for your post.
This post should have a satire” label in the title... Who could possibly believe that a conference on the abuse of children would be led by several faggots... /s
Chicago Cardinal Cupich Won't Say If He Supports Church Teaching on 'Homosexual Acts'
Bergoglio's upcoming summit is a farce, being run by homosexuals themselves.
You are so correct.
It was encouraging to read how you are handling this all out attack on God and HIS Son Christ, and on all who believe in their hearts what Christ did for them at the cross, and have accepted His grace and salvation.
Ultimately, “We might not against flesh and blood”, however, the world and all it’s slavery, horror, and bloodshed, are at war Christ, and any who believe in Him
In the end, God has already won!
But God’s wrath will come first, against the rebel world.
The world will finally get what it has so long desired, a world without God!
And Scripture tells us, God’s wrath and man’s sin, will be so horrific, mankind cannot even imagine how horrible it will be! And it tells us, if the Son of God did not intervene, man would destroy himself.
It is a truly horrific time. But it is temporary.
God does intervene, and He purifies the earth again.
God wins - Satan, his demons, and rebellious no-moral-boundaries man receive God’s wrath.
