Everything Cupich says logically requires saying: We should be no more appalled by 58 million abortions and the sale of babies’ bodies than by unemployment.
When Bernardin first introduced the “Seamless Garment,” he said we must be EQUALLY concerned about abortion and nuclear war, about abortion and cuts in social spending, etc. There was a firestorm, and he backed away from those statements. Cupich has gone all the way back to that position.
Cupich’s record for 20 years could hardly be worse, when it comes to persecuting real Catholics, and issuing mealy-mouthed statements on moral issues. In fact, mealy-mouthed is what Cupich is on a GOOD day.
Cupich was hand-picked by the Pope for Chicago. He has just been hand-picked by the Pope for the Synod.
By the fruit they hand-pick you shall know them.
It’s as if Cupich said, “Yeah, killing babies is wrong, but what about those young people who can’t find jobs? We need to think about them!”
Very, very disappointed, but not surprised. The muted humanity indeed! What a nice way to distance himself and his listeners from the horror.
