Cardinal Cupich turns 77 today. The Chicago shepherd is the oldest active diocesan archbishop in the US.
A happy birthday to his eminence.

And with that, my interest in this year's installment of March Madness is over.
This Wisconsin squad clearly had giant-killer ability, but they were also too inconsistent. And with that they are out.

"All Christians must reject unjust discrimination on the basis of religion or ethnicity. But that principle must not be misused to silence legitimate criticism of governments."
Archbishop Sample@ArchbishpSample
I urge my fellow Christians to approach these matters not through the lens of personal ideology or political preference, but according to the moral principles handed on by Holy Mother Church and her magisterium. All Christians must reject unjust discrimination on the basis of religion or ethnicity. But that principle must not be misused to silence legitimate criticism of governments.

@JLLiedl The same thought occurred to me. This strikes me as something that staff couldn't do on the order of a single bishop, even if he's the metropolitan.

After the story had been filed, +Paprocki said re: the fact that CCI seemed to have picked the 2 layman who will leave the board BEFORE Friday's meeting: "I would take that as a proposal that needs to be voted on by all the member bishops." So how was the decision already made?

6 mos after publicly criticizing +Cupich’s plan to honor a pro-abortion-rights senator, a long-serving lay leader is being let go from the Catholic Conference of Illinois board--with an informed source saying the two developments are linked. ncregister.com/news/john-bree…

Lonergan once said that “perfect objectivity is the fruit of perfect subjectivity.” Meaning: we can only see the world rightly when we tear down our idols and conform our hearts to the truth of God’s providence and our need for intellectual humility.

I’m actually amazed that human minds can generate, hold on to, and multiply so many opinions, as if occasionally saying “I don’t know” were a shameful admission of human failure. It’s actually a noble expression, sobering, and more true than a lot of things we commonly say.

@JLLiedl Bull CRAP!
John 14:6 “The only path to the Father, is through Me”-Jesus.
They have been blocked from access to our God for 2000 years!
They pray to Satan because he can pretend to be their god.
We are commanded to reject evil, not waller with it!

Archbishop Sample, one of the US hierarchy's biggest proponents of the Traditional Latin Mass, cites Vatican II's Nostra Aetate in a forceful message against anti-semitism.
U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops@USCCB
Catholics are called to reject antisemitism and the lies and conspiracies that fuel it, and to stand clearly against hatred and violence directed toward our Jewish brothers and sisters. To defend religious freedom with integrity, we must also reject antisemitism. @ArchbishpSample @archdpdx Watch the full video at: ow.ly/sYF550Yw6cA

@JLLiedl @mckeownjonah I think getting too hung up on numbers is a mistake, anyhow. A superficial conversion that wears off in a year or two is not something of great value. It's the reality that occurs in the interior being of the person that matters, and that is not measurable by 'scientific' means.
English
“I go to Mass every day, and I see there are more people in the pews. I also look at the numbers as a scientist, and I see that the numbers are not yet there."
@mckeownjonah on why the data on religious revival doesn't match what people are seeing--yet.

Today is a solemnity, so if you're going to take a break from Lenten penances to celebrate St. Joseph, you should probably have some zeppole.
