Archbishop-elect Cupich played hardball with his law firm?

The accuser, the vicar general who resigned the position is no Johnny-come-lately:

Father Steve Dublinski, rector of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes and the Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia of the diocese, has been named [5/18/2011] Director of Seminarians and Rector of Bishop White Seminary, Spokane, while continuing as Vicar General.

Father Dublinski, originally from Walla Walla, was ordained June 29, 1985, after seminary formation at Bishop White Seminary in Spokane and North American College, Rome.

He was associate pastor of St. John Vianney Parish, Spokane Valley, until June 1989, when he was assigned to St. Charles Parish, Spokane, also as associate pastor. In October 1990 he became pastoral administrator of the parish, and on Nov. 4 of that year, pastor.

In July 1997 he moved to St. Mary Parish, Spokane Valley, as pastor.

In 2002 Bishop Skylstad appointed him Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia for the diocese.

The following year, Father Dublinski became pastor of the parishes in Rosalia, Oakesdale, St. John, and Tekoa, and two years later, rector of the Cathedral.

Hell!
