Cardinal Cupich hails 'prophetic voice and legacy' of Cardinal Bernardin (Vatican News)
Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago praised the legacy and prophetic voice of Cardinal Joseph Bernardin during an address in Trento, Italy, on October 16. Speaking in the ancestral region of the former Chicago archbishop, who served from 1982 to 1996, Cupich noted that Bernardin viewed social issues as interconnected.
Cupich said Bernardin concluded that addressing topics such as abortion, capital punishment, nuclear proliferation, and the use of military force in isolation was ineffective. He described Bernardin's consistent ethic of life as an essential moral framework for addressing modern social divisions.
