Cupich to Chicago: What Does This Mean? | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: When this story first broke, I posted my happiness with it.  I will now expand.  Bishop Cupich has been out there lately in the media defending Francis and a progressive view point - however he did so not to get noticed, but to say what needed to be said.  It is not that he is allergic to the culture warrior claptrap out of his right wing brothers - I suspect that he simply knows it is a fraud.  How fitting that he will take Bernardin's See, whom first coined the term Seamless Garment of Life (which, make no mistake, had the right wing coin the term Gospel of Life in a move that is entirely P.R.).  Equally refreshing is that this new Archbishop walks how he talks.  Chicago desperately needs that.  Maybe he will find himself a young community organizer to help him.  I know one thing, Catholic Social Services is about to become the largest Health Care Navigator in the USA.  It is good the the Papal Nuncio is paying attention - this pick shows it.  I am sure that has some bishops who indulge in culture war rethinking their options (indeed, they can't be that stupid to ignore this).  One only wonders if someone within the Church (either a bishop or politician) will call out the pro-life movement as an electoral arm of the GOP and a fundraising scam.  With Cupich in Chicago, one can believe that anything is possible.
