Doubling down

Dear Lord,

“The pope knows we have a bigger agenda. We have to speak about the environment, about the poor, we have to reach out to people who are marginalized in society. We cannot be distracted at this moment,” Cupich said.

Ignore the rampant sexual abuse of children, in order to concentrate on the larger issues of climate change immigrant rights?

As a former Roman Catholic, I am speechless. 

Almost - but I'll let the passage that follows from the article fo my talking: 

"As president of the Committee on Protection of Young Children and Young People, outspoken about the need for reform in the church – addressing sex abuse, shining a light on it, protecting people from becoming victims and comforting those who fell prey, Cupich says he had no knowledge of McCarrick’s behavior, which is now documented to be the source of church payoffs and complaints dating back to the 1980s, including allegations he took seminarians to a beach house for sex."

So it's literaly his job to be concerned about this distraction.

Shame.

Crazed American, out.
