"Gallicho is a Chicago native and
currently serves as an associate editor of Commonweal, an
independent, lay-run Catholic journal. He has also been published in
America, the National Catholic Reporter, The Tablet, El Ciervo,
Religion Dispatches, Religion News Service, The New York Observer,
The New York Times, and elsewhere."
Uh oh. Those aren’t on my go-to list
for orthodox Catholic news and commentary.
"Since his appointment to the Chicago
archdiocese, Archbishop Cupich has taken steps to distance himself
from Cardinal George, and to instead align himself with Cardinal
Joseph Bernardin, who preceded Cardinal George as leader of the
third-largest archdiocese in the nation.
"For example, in an August column on
the Planned Parenthood videos released by the Center for Medical
Progress, Archbishop Cupich referred to the “consistent ethic of
life,” a phrase coined by Cardinal Bernardin and popularly known as
the “seamless garment” understanding of faith's role in the
public square."
“While commerce in the remains of
defenseless children is particularly repulsive, we should be no less
appalled by the indifference toward the thousands of people who die
daily for lack of decent medical care; who are denied rights by a
broken immigration system and by racism; who suffer in hunger,
joblessness and want; who pay the price of violence in gun-saturated
neighborhoods; or who are executed by the state in the name of
justice.”
Hard to accept a ‘but.... monkey’, even
from an archbishop.
