Breaking news just released by our friends at the Lepanto Institute. Founder and president Michael Hichborn has been after this group called the Association of U.S. Catholic Priests (AUSCP).
But let me first give you that list of cardinals and bishops who Hichborn is literally taking down with this audio:
Cardinal Blase Cupich (Chicago)
Cupich is a frequent attendee and presenter at the AUSCP’s annual assemblies, showing high-level episcopal support.
Cardinal Wilton Gregory (Washington, D.C.)
Gregory has also served as a speaker at AUSCP gatherings, adding his considerable prominence to the group’s visibility.
Cardinal Robert McElroy (Washington, D.C.)
The then-bishop of San Diego delivered a keynote address at the AUSCP assembly in 2018 and continues to participate in its meetings.
Bishop John Stowe, O.F.M. Conv. (Lexington)
Stowe is an actual member of the AUSCP, serving as retreat director for their 2024 annual assembly, indicating a deep level of involvement.
Archbishop John Wester (Santa Fe)
Wester currently serves as the AUSCP’s official liaison to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), a key formal connection between the organization and the American episcopal conference.
Archbishop Robert Carlson (St. Louis)
The archbishop celebrated multiple Masses for the AUSCP at their events, another form of liturgical and public endorsement.
Bishop John Hartmayer (Atlanta)
Hartmayer served as retreat leader at the 2017 AUSCP assembly when he was the bishop of Savannah, Georgia.
Bishop Richard Pates (Des Moines) and Bishop William Wack (Pensacola-Tallahassee)
Both bishops led and gave presentations at the 2021 AUSCP assembly.
