Catholic ping!
“written that unemployment and hunger are just as appalling as the killing of millions of children in the womb”
Anyone who could make such a comparison has some serious dysfunction in their mental processes. If I am jobless, I may find a job tomorrow. If I am hungry, I may find a meal tomorrow. If I am aborted, every such subsequent opportunity in this life has been denied to me, forever.
The Church in America is suffering a demographic cratering.
Attendance has fallen by nearly half over the past fifteen years. Faithful Catholics die off and they aren’t being replaced. The financial cratering is beginning to hit now.
I expect they will pull out all stops to try and reverse this. Even stops that don’t square with the Church’s teaching.
- Open Borders - bring more Catholic Hispanics here who can start putting money in the collection basket.
- Liberalize on Divorce - attract back the ex-Catholics who left after their marriage broke-up and they did not desire a lifetime of celibacy (so they joined an Evangelical Church and began tithing there)
Love it or hate it, it’s pretty clear this is what they’re up to.
What a twisted and evil wretch this individual sounds like.
Cupich is not the principal problem, though. That lies further up the chain of command.
The situation in the Church just keeps getting worse and worse. My current survival strategy is to try as best I can to ignore Rome and the unsound bishops and focus on Jesus, Mary and the saints. Heaven help the Church to ride out this storm with teaching intact!
Cupich is mistaken.
Remember Cardinal George’s prediction:
“I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history.”
~ Cardinal Francis George
