This is great.

You remember that Card. Cupich of Chicago attacked the people who attended the south-side church in the care of the Institute of Christ the King by placing the Institute priests in an untenable position. He forced them to chose to agree to things he knew they would not agree to or else not be able to celebrate public Masses, etc. Thus, Cupich attacked the people who attended the Institute church.

Of course the priests can say Masses privately, but the people are denied.

Attacks on the Traditional Roman Rite are always an attack on the people.

However, a Chicago alderman has openly questioned Cupich and his attack on the people with a letter that brings up good points from the secular point of view.

By attacking the Shrine, the priests and, mainly, the people, Cupich has hurt the whole neighborhood.

Quote from the letter, below, to Cupich from the Alderman who is, of course, a Democrat.
