20-15. ‘America Needs More Jesus, Not Less’: Chiefs Kicker Calls Out Chicago Cardinal Who Led Invocation at DNC With Cross Hidden...
"My children, you will all recognize the faces of evil. Satan has entered into the highest ranks of My Church. Pray now for your priests: your bishops, your cardinals, your clergy. Many prayers are needed, for many are on, now, the road to perdition and taking many others with them."
- The Bayside Prophecies
Jesus, July 15, 1977
"There will be many mitres in hell. Many priests are on the road to damnation; with them they take others. For this, the lowest pit of the abyss will be eternity! Those entrusted in My Son's House will be held accountable for the fall of young souls. Your rank will be no guarantee of your entrance into the Kingdom. You have betrayed My Son. How dare you sell His House! You have sold My Son's House for the profit of your temporary lifetime!"

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker called out a Chicago Cardinal who led the invocation at the Democratic National Convention with his cross hidden under his jacket and failed to mention Jesus Christ’s name.
In a Tuesday post on X, the Chiefs star shared a clip from the first night of the 2024 DNC in Chicago with Roman Catholic Cardinal Blase Cupich at the podium giving the opening prayer and the religious leader’s pectoral cross could not be seen because it was tucked inside the Cardinal’s jacket.
“America needs more Jesus not less,” Butker’s post read. “We need our shepherds to fearlessly lead and not be afraid to proclaim that Christ is King.”
“It starts with bishops boldly wearing their pectoral cross outside their jackets,” he added.
As Butker noted, the Cardinal faced additional criticism because during his invocation, the name Jesus was not mentioned once, as LifeNews noted.
During this prayer, the religious leader called on the faithful “to root out ongoing injustices in our national life, especially those created by moral blindness and fear of the other” and to forge a “new chapter of our nation’s history.”
At one point, the Cardinal of the Archdiocese of Chicago also quoted Pope Francis, but not Jesus.
“Hiding his pectoral cross, and never once [m]entioning the name of Jesus, Cdl. Blase Cupich gave the invocation at an event providing free abortions and vasectomies,” The Lepanto Institute, a conservative Catholic organization, wrote on X, pointing out Planned Parenthood’s “mobile health clinic” blocks from the DNC offering abortions.
Catholic Vote said simply, “The DNC is demonic.”
One journalist wrote, “McCarrick disciple Cardinal Cupich gives invocation at DNC in Chicago as abortions and vasectomies take place just feet away. No sign of the cross. No mention of the Holy Name of Jesus. Pectoral cross conveniently hidden.”
Another person wrote, “Did the catholic priest notice the horrific child sacrifice abortion ritual happening outside the DNC convention or is he just going to ignore that?”
Butker made headlines earlier this year after he gave the commencement address at Benedictine College, a Catholic university in Kansas, in which he praised his wife for being a “homemaker,” called out President Joe Biden’s support for abortion, and criticized LGBT “Pride month.”
“Bishops and cardinals in My Son’s Church, you have fallen asleep. You go about with your heads in the clouds, dusty clouds, dark clouds that blind you. Awaken from your slumber while there is time. The time is growing short. How many earth-years do I come to you to warn you? You cannot hide the truth now, My children and My pastors. It is too late. The time of the Apocalypse is upon you; your days are numbered. You must save now your soul and the souls of all under your care. Convert the unbeliever while there is time.”
- The Bayside Prophecies
Our Lady of the Roses, May 30, 1978
"The judgment of your God is not akin to the judgment of man. The Eternal Father will only judge by the heart. Your rank, your accumulation of worldly goods does not set you up before another. Many have sold their souls within the holy House of God. Better that you strip yourself and remove all worldly interests now while you have the time to make amends to your God, for many mitres will fall into hell."

Cardinal Cupich Prays For ‘Unity and Peace’ At DNC Where Babies Are Being Hacked To Pieces...

Cardinal Blase Cupich remained notably silent on Catholic teaching on life issues and abortion during his invocation at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, at which Planned Parenthood is offering free abortions and vasectomies.
Cupich’s prayer invocation was delivered to the assembled participants at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on August 19, in which he notably avoided mentioning Jesus Christ – a stark contrast to the invocation given by Archbishop Jerome Listecki at the Republican National Convention last month.
“We praise you, O God of all creation,” began Cupich. “Quicken in us a resolve to protect your handiwork. You are the source of every blessing that graces our lives and our nation.”
The Chicago cardinal’s invocation to start the first evening session of the DNC highlighted themes of “unity,” “peace,” and the “sacred call of citizenship.”
“We are a nation composed of every people and culture, united not by ties of blood, but by the profound aspirations of life, freedom, justice, and unbound hope,” he said. “These aspirations are why our forebears saw America as a beacon of hope. And, with your steady guidance, Lord, may we remain so today.”
Cupich’s invocation also contained calls for America to be “a builder of peace in our wounded world with the courage to imagine and pursue a loving future together.”
He also invoked divine aid in “taking up our responsibility to forge this new chapter of our nation’s history. Let it be rooted in the recognition that for us, as for every generation, unity triumphing over division is what advances human dignity and liberty.”
Cupich’s address was notable for its silence on certain issues, especially pertaining to Catholic morality. Democrat presidential hopeful Kamala Harris has made no secret about her prominent support for abortion, and abortion giant Planned Parenthood is also offering free abortions and vasectomies at the DNC.
However, Cupich did not mention pro-life concerns. Instead, he prayed that “this new chapter of our nation’s history be filled with overwhelming hope, a hope that refuses to narrow our national vision, but rather, as Pope Francis has said, ‘to dream dreams and see visions’ of what by your grace our world can become.”
The 75-year-old cardinal’s invocation was roundly criticized by numerous Catholics online.
“No mention of life… or of the free vasectomies in the parking lot,” quipped EWTN host Raymond Arroyo. “But there was something about ‘unity triumphing over division is what leads to human dignity and liberty.’ Tell that to the Chinese or the North Koreans.”
Tyler, Texas’ emeritus Bishop Joseph Strickland commented that “We will never have peace until we return to God and respect life.”
“The cardinal’s presence there,” he said in reference to the DNC, “is a missed opportunity to call the Democratic Party back from the abyss.”
Crisis Magazine Editor-in-Chief Eric Sammons did not object to Cupich’s presence at the DNC, unlike other critics, but did highlight how Cupich was silent on Christ: “it is scandalous that he refused to say the name of Jesus – the named by which we are saved – in his prayer.”
Former U.S. Nuncio Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò attested that “the scandalous endorsements of Blase Cupich and the heretical ultra-progressive Jesuits in favor of Harris and Walz and the radical Left woke agenda confirm the blood pact between the globalist Deep State and the Bergoglian Deep Church.”
Support for Cupich’s speech among Catholics has so far not been widely forthcoming.

Cdl. Cupich Reportedly Preventing Eucharistic Adoration during National Pilgrimage...

Chicago’s Cardinal Blase Cupich is reportedly prohibiting the public exposition of the Blessed Sacrament during a Eucharistic pilgrimage passing through his archdiocese next year.
As part of the 2024 Eucharistic congress organized by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), a Eucharistic pilgrimage is taking place, drawing American Catholics across the country to Indianapolis. Four main routes from the northern, southern, eastern, and western borders of the country have been made, one of which passes through the Archdiocese of Chicago.
Cupich is reportedly blocking plans to have the Blessed Sacrament exposed while the pilgrims process through his diocese, according to a report by The Pillar. Writing April 14, The Pillar stated:
A source with knowledge of the pilgrimage planning said that when pilgrims traverse through Chicago in the summer of 2024, the archdiocese will conduct a Mass at Holy Name Cathedral, followed by a Eucharistic procession led by Cardinal Cupich — but that the Eucharist will otherwise be expected to be reserved as pilgrims travel.
According to The Pillar’s source — described as a senior Church official — Cupich appeared to only grudgingly allow the pilgrimage in his archdiocese at all.
“He told them they could go through Chicago, but they couldn’t expose the Blessed Sacrament while they were walking,” stated the source. “That seemed to be the compromise that they got about coming at all.”
The report further cited clergy close to the pilgrimage who called Cupich “opposed” to the Eucharistic pilgrimage. “You’ve got to understand, he’s reluctant to have this whole affair parading down the middle of his diocese,” said the official.
On the national journey the walking pilgrimages will be accompanied by the presence of the Blessed Sacrament and a team of priests. Bishop Andrew Cozzens, who chairs the Eucharistic Congress and the USCCB Eucharistic Revival project, told The Pillar last year that the pilgrimage teams will coordinate with the dioceses they pass through to stage processions through the cities en route, “with the canopy and cross and servers and people singing hymns and praying and things like that.”
For the longer sections between cities the walking pilgrimage will not process with the Eucharist exposed so solemnly, but rather will have “a simple walking procession — a priest or a deacon carrying the Blessed Sacrament and a simple monstrance, but without a canopy and people walking prayerfully.”
Another alternative is using a specially built electric car, with large windows designed to enable easy viewing of the monstrance within. Two people would be inside the vehicle in adoration while it proceeds at a walking pace.
For the longer sections through harsher terrain, such as in the desert, the Eucharistic pilgrimage plans to either repose the Blessed Sacrament or “prayerfully carry it in a van while we’re going across the larger miles,” according to Cozzens. This option, said Cozzens, was to be reserved for the areas of “hundreds of miles” without any people around.
While such a plan was meant to be reserved for the deserted areas, it now looks likely to be employed in Chicago also, with The Pillar reporting that archdiocesan officials had weighed in to stipulate that the Blessed Sacrament would be reposed while the pilgrimage traverses the archdiocese.
LifeSiteNews contacted the pilgrimage organizers about the report, who declined to answer the specific question about whether Cupich had restricted the public exposition. Tim Glemkowski, executive director of the National Eucharistic Congress, stated the the pilgrimage team was “working in close collaboration with staff in each of the 64 dioceses the Pilgrimage route will pass in May, June, and July of 2024 en route to the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis.”
Glemkowski continued:
Every segment of the Pilgrimage will be a distinct experience of each local diocese that will highlight the holy sites, cultural experiences, and Eucharistic life of that local church. Each diocese is creatively engaged in the planning process to allow a unique experience of the Pilgrimage throughout all four pilgrim routes. The Pilgrimage will be a powerful, once-in-a-lifetime witness of how Jesus Christ comes close to us and invites all to encounter him in the Eucharist. We could not be more excited to be moving forward with each of our diocesan partners in the planning and execution of this incredible opportunity for our Church in the U.S.
Glemkowski gave some pubic praise for Cupich, however, and added that “the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage is a wonderful opportunity to overcome division in the Church and highlight our unity through the Eucharist and this Revival. Our team has been extremely pleased and grateful for our ongoing relationship with the Archdiocese of Chicago and for the support of Cardinal Cupich.”
The Archdiocese of Chicago did not respond to a request for comment on the matter and has yet to issue any official statement on the report. As such, there is no official reason for Cupich’s reported restrictions on Eucharistic exposition.
However, his five-article series on the Eucharist from 2022 presents an insight into his opinion of Eucharistic adoration. Cupich praised the “full, active and conscious participation” of Catholics in the Novus Ordo Mass, before stating:
As one bishop reminded me, the Second Vatican Council taught that the eucharistic celebration, not the sacred host in the monstrance, is the source and summit of Christian life. In fact, the rites of the church insist that adoration of the Blessed Sacrament must lead to and draw from the celebration of the Eucharist in the Mass … The effort we put into liturgical renewal according to the council is what God wants.
The Pillar also wrote that sources close to the USCCB claimed that Cupich believed the emphasis on Eucharistic adoration as seen in the Eucharistic Revival might “distort” Catholic doctrine.
“Bishops and cardinals in My Son’s Church, you have fallen asleep. You go about with your heads in the clouds, dusty clouds, dark clouds that blind you. Awaken from your slumber while there is time. The time is growing short. How many earth-years do I come to you to warn you? You cannot hide the truth now, My children and My pastors. It is too late. The time of the Apocalypse is upon you; your days are numbered. You must save now your soul and the souls of all under your care. Convert the unbeliever while there is time.”
