Not Even a Bishop Can Be This Clueless...Can He?
In an NBC News interview yesterday, Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago insisted that it was more
than acceptable for Pope Francis to refuse to discuss Archbishop Carlo
Maria Viganò’s shocking testimony, which implicates a host of Catholic
Church leaders — including the pope — in covering up sexual abuse and
immorality.
“The pope has a bigger agenda,” Cupich told interviewer Mary Anne Ahern when asked about the pope’s refusal to discuss Viganò’s claims. “He’s got to get on with other things, of talking about the environment and protecting migrants and carrying on the work of the Church.”
“We’re not going to go down a rabbit hole on this,” Cupich added. A rabbit hole, indeed. If this was satire crafted by SNL writers to mock the Catholic hierarchy, it’s hard to imagine how the cardinal’s remarks would come across any worse.
