Several weeks ago, Cardinal Blaise Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago, announced his intentions to bestow upon pro-abortion and pro-gay U.S. Senator Dick Durbin a "lifetime achievement award" for his support of - you guessed it! - illegal immigrants crashing through our southern borders. This award was supposed to have been bestowed in November
Immediately Bishop Paprocki and Archbishop Cordileone urged Cupich to cancel that award. Other bishops soon followed in their condemnation of that award. In the words of Complicit Clergy, Cupich told them to "pound sand". Of course Cupich holds the slaughter of babies to be of little importance. Recall that as Bishop of Spokane, Cupich forbade his priests from participating in the local 40 Days for Life efforts in his diocese.
Pope Leo was asked about this Cupich-Durbin scandal. He responded by adding his own verbal manure to the pile. Not only does he trot out the "seamless garmet" tripe, but also slanders faithful Catholics and good pro-life people in the process. Please watch below the jump-break.
