From Complicit Clergy
The votes have been counted and the results are in: Cardinal Blase Cupich has earned an “Epic Fail” for his role in organizing last week’s Sex Abuse Summit in Rome. Headlines from both the Catholic and secular media alike show the Summit was essentially worthless:
- Things Went From Bad to Worse at Sex Summit
- Summit With Unclear Agenda Offers Elusive Suggestions and Vague Assurances
- Campaigners furious after pope’s ‘defensive’ speech on child abuse
- Sex Summit Dodges Homosexuality Issue
- Catholic Church All Talk on Sexual Abuse Issue
- Summit Organizer Claims ‘Gay Subculture’ Has ‘Nothing To Do With Sex Abuse Of Minors’
- Cardinal Decries Vatican ‘Silence’ on Homosexuality at Abuse Summit
- All Optics, No Substance
- Vatican Summit Shows a Church Incapable of Holding Itself to Account
- Abuse Summit Follow-up Meeting Decides to Hold More Follow-up Meetings
- Pope’s Closing Address Did Not Present a Detailed, Coherent Strategy for Reform
- The Propaganda Summit Comes to a Close
A prime example was Cardinal Cupich’s own address at the Summit. Most people will find it difficult to listen to more than 5 minutes of this gibberish without falling asleep. Here’s an exercise you can use to try to keep your eyes open – count the number of #FrancisBuzzWords uttered by Cupich (hint: synodality, collegiality, discernment, accompaniment, etc.).
Blase Cupich demonstrated once again that he is actually part of the problem when it comes to the issue of sexual abuse. No progress can actually be made as long as men like Blase Cupich are in-charge.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
