Cardinal Blase Cupich, the ambitious left-wing archbishop of Chicago, must have imagined that Joe Biden's inauguration last week would be a moment to savour. He and a small number of his liberal colleagues, known as 'the Biden bishops', have been working tremendously hard to make sure that, once their candidate was elected, any mention of his radical support for abortion would be sotto voce and preferably inaudible. They thought they'd succeeded.
But then things went spectacularly wrong. The president of the US bishops' conference, Archbishop José Gomez of Los Angeles, drafted a statement on behalf of his colleagues that not only mentioned Biden's pro-choice activism but also drew attention to the fact that the new administration planned to remove certain legal protections or 'conscience rights' from Americans who won't participate in abortions or other affronts to their traditional morality.
The Biden bishops were horrified, and pulled a fast one: they contacted the Vatican's left-leaning Secretariat of State, which ordered that Gomez's statement be spiked until after the inauguration. News of the censorship was immediately leaked – unsurprisingly, since most American bishops agreed with Gomez's statement. A new online publication called The Pillar revealed what had happened – and named the two pro-Biden cardinals who had clashed with Gomez: Cupich of Chicago, who seems to have been the ringleader, and Joseph Tobin of Newark.
At which point Cupich did just about the most stupid thing imaginable: he resorted to Twitter. To find out what he said, and why he's now blotted his copybook in Rome, listen to this week's episode of Holy Smoke.

I imagine Youtube is deleting dislikes on his videos, too.
BabylonBee has sarcastically billed itself as the most trusted news source and yet somehow, some way . . it’s starting to come true.
I know, right?!
BB’s parody articles are toooooooo danged easy to believe in this upside-down landscape.
I still can’t believe that corruptocracy was once my church home.
Cardinal Cupich is an evil man. He knew that supporting Biden was wrong because of his propagation of abortion, not only in this country, but also he is taking taxpayer money to throw to other countries to spread the evil of abortion. Cardinal Cupich knows that reaching inside a woman’s body and tearing a child’s body apart is not right but he banks the sinner Biden! Cardinal Cupich is strickly show! He is not a man of God! Treat him that way.
If one listens to Thompson’s audio, he ends it by referring the two “JB”s as being so similar, i.e. Joe Biden and Jorge Bergoglio.
The heretics running the Vatican don’t want a little mess like butchering innocent babies to get in the way of the tens of millions they are about to get for resettling illegals..After all,Frankie doesn’t much care about babies being butchered....
Evil loves Evil. Pope Marx and Chomo Joe are both evil
The church engaging in politics?
