Left-wing Cardinal Blase Cupich is set to appear at a scandalous ecumenical event in Chicago this week. The conference is coordinated by a Wiccan priestess and features more than 6,000 representatives of various forms of pagan and non-Catholic sects.

The 2023 Parliament of the World’s Religions is being held at McCormack Place convention center from Tuesday, August 14 until Friday, August 18. Its theme is “A Call to Conscience: Defending Freedom and Human Rights.”

Cupich will appear on a “luminary” panel alongside Presbyterian minister Jennifer Butler and Rashad Hussain, who serves in President Joe Biden’s State Department and who previously worked in the Obama administration.

United Nations Secretary General António Guterres as well as dissident Catholic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi are also scheduled to address the conference.

The event’s first meeting was held in 1893, also in Chicago. Cardinal John Gibbons of Baltimore controversially attended that gathering along with several other liberal U.S. clergy who later came to be associated with what then-Pope Leo XIII called “the heresy of Americanism.”

In 1895, two years after conservatives voiced their opposition to the meeting, Leo condemned the conference and forbade Catholics from attending future ones out of fear it would give the impression the Church viewed other religions to be true or good in themselves.

(shrug) That's fine; no big deal.

If he were to advocate a greater use of the Traditional Latin Mass, however----well, now,  that we simply cannot tolerate.

"…………Cardinal John Gibbons of Baltimore………"

Incorrect. James, not John. That little detail is easily verified, because James Cardinal Gibbons (1836-1921) played a leading part in late 19th-century US Catholicism; notably in the Americanism affair.

There have been so many scandals in the CC in the last two generations, that this almost seems trivial. The Church's teaching against indifferentism is for all practical purposes deader than the dodo.
