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.”
Cupich can conveniently be ignored for his term by any and all whose own bishops don't buy into his dreck.
On the other hand, Bishop Jim Martin, SJ (Deus quod avertat!) would be our burden to bear forever.
