The Vatican announced Friday Pope Francis’ selection for the organizing committee of the Vatican’s February meeting of bishops on abuse prevention. Among the group named is Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago.
The gathering, which will take place Feb. 21-24, 2019, is focused on the protection of minors from sexual abuse within the Church. The pope has asked the presidents of the world’s bishops’ conferences, and the heads of the Eastern Catholic Churches, to attend.
In addition to Cupich, Francis also placed on the organizing committee Cardinal Oswald Gracias of Bombay and Archbishop Charles Scicluna of Malta, who was recently made adjunct secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith.
Fr. Hans Zollner, president of the Center for the Protection of Minors at the Pontifical Gregorian University, and a member of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors (PCPM), was also named a member and made the contact person for the committee.

And with that, ladies and gents, we know the coverup will continue. Cupich, whose celebrity heterodox credentials in the U.S. are surpassed only by Fr. James Martin, is the pope’s designated man for this important job. They aren’t taking this seriously. They aren’t going to pinpoint homosexuality among the clergy. They think it’s no big deal but they want the bad PR to go away. As one commenter said, the message behind this appointment is “lighten up” about church teaching about sex and church management because the clergy aren’t serious about the gospel. Seems now that attorneys general and the FBI are going to have to do what the church is unwilling to do itself.
You call Cupich’s credentials heterodox. What EXACTLY are heterodox credentials? What is Cupich heterodox about?
Now if Pope Francis had invited Archbishop Vigano instead of his sycophant Cdl. Cupich, I would have confidence he means business.
Just like the USCCB conference was rigged, this one is also rigged.
Here comes the Cavalry to the rescue:

might as well have named Soupy Sales
Looks like we’re going down a rabbit hole on this one!
Lets just pray that the meeting would give us a good result of Godly Justice.
Hope is all we have left. The opportunity to substantively address the issue, however, lies with Cupich and his accomplices:

Your Eminence,
Will the February meeting be addressing this?

We are under the impression that even the appearance of questionable behavior should be avoided.
How about it?
