A Cupich victory will be a clear win for Bergoglianism. On the other hand, a Cupich loss, satisfying as it will be to pro-lifers, will likely anger the powers that be in Vatican and cause them to double-down on remaking the American episcopacy in their image (i.e., Bishop Jim Martin SJ, anyone?). Classic example of the old song lyric, “Laugh about it, shout about it when you gotta choose... Every way you look at it, you lose.”

Will U.S. Catholic Bishops Choose Life? The fact that this question has even arose is a testimony to the sad state of affairs we Catholics currently must endure.

One of the earliest church writing is the Didache written in the 1st century. It's title is, "The Lord's Teaching Through the Twelve Apostles to the Nations." Chapter 2 is clear on the early church's view of abortion.

Chapter 2. The Second Commandment: Grave Sin Forbidden. And the second commandment of the Teaching; You shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not commit pederasty, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, you shall not practice magic, you shall not practice witchcraft, you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is born. You shall not covet the things of your neighbor, you shall not swear, you shall not bear false witness, you shall not speak evil, you shall bear no grudge. You shall not be double-minded nor double-tongued, for to be double-tongued is a snare of death. Your speech shall not be false, nor empty, but fulfilled by deed. You shall not be covetous, nor rapacious, nor a hypocrite, nor evil disposed, nor haughty. You shall not take evil counsel against your neighbor. You shall not hate any man; but some you shall reprove, and concerning some you shall pray, and some you shall love more than your own life.

What part of "you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is born" isn't understood?

"Will U.S. Catholic Bishops Choose Life?"

They had better or it will be the end of their version of Christianity.

Cupich is an embarrassment to the point of seeming like a fifth columnist. BXVI would not have allowed him to come with 100 miles of the Vatican.

The vote is down to two candidates — Cardinal Blase Cupich, of Chicago, and Archbishop Joseph Naumann, of Kansas City — who represent the ideological poles of the U.S. church and have articulated different visions of what being pro-life should mean.

Of course they will choose Cupich, because they'll be afraid of what Francis will do to them if they reject his buddy. They've already proven how cowardly they are by not speaking out on Francis' heresies.

Don't forget, Cardinal Pietro Parolin (Vatican Secretary of State) will be there to a) spy on them and b) put pressure on them.

I truly hope I'm wrong.

If there is ever a Catholic Pope again, among his first acts MUST be the removal of Cupich, McElroy, and many other vicious anti-Christians appointed by Bergoglio.
