For a while, two archbishops who once headed our town’s archdiocese – Cardinal Raymond Burke and Cardinal Justin Rigali – sat on the Vatican’s powerful Congregation for Bishops, the office that proposes bishop candidates across much of the globe. In a blow to the church here, both men were soon ousted when Pope Francis took office. Today, however, the pontiff has elevated another Midwestern prelate, Chicago’s Blase Cupich to be on that committee.
