Looks like the Pope might use Cupich as his conduit to Biden:
Vatican City, Jan 30, 2021 / 08:00 am (CNA).- Pope Francis met with Cardinal Blase Cupich on Saturday, 10 days after the cardinal publicly criticized the U.S. bishops’ official statement on the inauguration of President Joe Biden.
The private audience occurred in the Apostolic Palace on the morning of Jan. 30. Cardinal Cupich, the archbishop of Chicago, has been in Rome for a meeting of the Vatican Congregation for Bishops. The Holy See Press Office did not release any further information on the meeting other than that it took place.
On Jan. 20, the day of the U.S. presidential inauguration, Cupich took to Twitter to criticize a statement from Archbishop José Gomez of Los Angeles, president of the U.S. bishops’ conference.
In his four-part Twitter thread Cupich said that “the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued an ill-considered statement on the day of President Biden’s inauguration. Aside from the fact that there is seemingly no precedent for doing so, the statement, critical of President Biden, came as a surprise to many bishops, who received it just hours before it was released.”
“The statement was crafted without the involvement of the Administrative Committee, a collegial consultation that is a normal course for statements that represent and enjoy the considered endorsement of the American bishops,” he said.
“The internal institutional failures involved must be addressed, and I look forward to contributing to all efforts to that end, so that, inspired by the Gospel, we can build up the unity of the Church, and together take up the work of healing our nation in this moment of crisis.”
In the statement that Cupich said was “ill-considered,” Archbishop Gomez wrote that while there are numerous issues of concern to the bishops’ conference, abortion is the preeminent issue that cannot be ignored.
Go here to read the rest. One hopes that the gang at the Vatican have hit rock bottom and then they keep digging. Prior to his election Biden’s handlers had him say that the nation was entering a dark winter. It looks like that goes for the Church also.
Their Fraudulencies Biden and Bergoglio deserve each other and the devil loves them both.
The dark winter of the Church began in March of 2013, at the latest.
And His Majesty still has not given an audience to the surviving authors of the Dubia.
St. Peter, St. Joseph, pray for us.
i am beginning to wonder, in all honesty, if our nation’s problems are, fundamentally, a sort of collateral damage in a greater chastisement of the Church, Herself. God does what God will do: all we can do is watch and pray,
God does what God will do:
Often time what He does I suspect is intended to get us to get off our dead hind ends and take action
So, when is the North American Schism to come?
When the powers that be at the Vatican think they can get along without most American donations.
