MGB: This is an unfortunate decision. Cardinal Cupich could have lead pro-life activities away from its linkage to the Republican Party electoral machinery, thereby giving it credibility across party lines. It would have been good for the unborn, because he would have affirmed the link between ending abortion and providing a living wage for families, as directed by Rerum Novarum, Casti Connubii and Caritas in Veritate. In doctrine, these are not prudential choices. Each Pope made clear they were obligatory steps, no matter how much pro-life Republicans put their economic agenda before the needs of children and the unborn.
As for Naumann, what he did with Governor Sebelius when she vetoed unconstitutional legislation is no longer allowed in the American Church and basically amounts to sedition. Had the Department of State been paying attention, a complaint to the Papal Nuncio would have been filed seeking his removal. It is not only sedition but abuse of the Eucharist. Bad choice.
Today's deed will delay the day that the Church stands for the economic empowerment of families, making the abortion rate 3/4's higher than it otherwise would be. Good job, Jay. Denise Richards should make Naumann man of the year.
