Say It Isn't So - Chicago Edition | National Catholic Reporter
Say It Isn't So - Chicago Edition | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I'm sure he was put in by request of Cardinal Burke -but Burke is not in the Conference on Bishops any more. The prospct, of course, is interesting. Would Olmsted change Chigaco or would Chicago season Olmsted? I don't think an moralistic lightning rod is what Francis wants for Chicago - and I expect that if they forced a bettr canon lawyer on him (and the current occupant has not been great in this regard), he would simply bring his own. Cardinal George was no flaming liberal and unless Olmsted is all pro-life all the time, he might not be bad. It would be nice if Rome began to realize that moving people around the U.S. is a much bigger deal than moving someone from Tuscany to Calabria. My opinion is that someone in the midwest should get the job - maybe Dubuque. Archbishop Jakels is only 60.

one other thing on the subject of changing Olmsed - if someone - either lay or clergy would confront him on the difference between being pro-abortion and pro-life and how the RTL movement is doing nothing for the unborn (because the Trap laws won't stand) - and certainly not for the economic well-being of families with new infants - and that it is in fact a faction of the GOP - such a conversion would be worth starting with Olmsted as is.
