Cupich Promoting His Version of the Gospel

The 'Amoris laetitia' controversy roared back Wednesday, when Cardinal Blase Cupich asked why a USCCB marriage doc seemed not to reflect controversial aspects of Pope Francis' text.

The cardinal was not reassured by answers, and debate will follow.https://t.co/eAJXeJU7SS

Cupich's Proposal

Some info here and America Magazine. Where is the accountability of the metropolitan to his "suffragan" bishops? If bishops are unfamiliar to one another, then maybe the election of bishops should be reformed, so that the bishops are accountable first to the local synod of presbyters, who are not just co-laborers (co-workers) or co-operators in the harvest - if the canonical and theological distinction in orders between presbyter and bishop is one made through subsequent positive law (and the development of the monoepiscopate) and not by the Apostles, perhaps a return to the Apostolic practice is even more warranted now.

What we need perhaps is less pushing of responsibility "up" but "out."

CWR Dispatch: Cupich and Scicluna hit their talking points, but are silent on key problems by Christopher R. Altieri

Throughout recent interviews, both Cardinal Cupich and Archbishop Scicluna convey a persistent attitude of denial regarding the role of the bishops in the ongoing crisis.

But Cupich must be OK since the "American Church" doesn't like him!

So let's have him be on the organizing committee!

Liturgy Training Publications

Going the way of Liturgical Press? The catalog from LTP increasingly reminds me of a catalog from Lit Press, as evidenced by the latest catalog for the latter part of this year, which features a few books from Lit Press (missals). What is the future of Hillenbrand Books? Is there really change afoot at Liturgy Training Publications? Does the publisher have anything to do with the Liturgical Institute, which has had its leadership changed by Cardinal Cupich, and seems to be moving away from tradition?
