Cardinal Cupich is vowing REAL change in the Catholic church’s pursuit of pedophile priests.
Pope Francis has given Cupich a leadership role for a Vatican meeting on reforms in February. At a City Club breakfast, the cardinal was promising change after so many years of scandals, but he did acknowledge the questions so many people have.
“Why should we trust them to do the right thing? Sorrow, disgust and outrage. These are all righteous feelings. They are the stirrings of the conscience of a people scandalized by the terrible reality that too many of the men who promised to protect their children and strengthen their faith have been responsible for wounding both.”
Cupich said the church needs to make it easier for victims to come forward and to end a culture of privilege and self protection.
