Chicago’s Archbishop Cupich will be off to Rome for the October synod on the family — as an alternate delegate. One other alternate, the archbp of San Francisco, was also approved by the Vatican.
The delegates are Archbishop Kurtz of Louisville, bishops’ conference president; Archbishop Chaput of Philadelphia, host of the World Meeting of Families in September; Cardinal DiNardo of Galveston-Houston; and Archbishop Gomez of Los Angeles.

Hey, non-profits are people too, eager for the main chance:
Reporting by the Center for Public Integrity has shown that despite spending hundreds of millions of dollars on elections, nonprofits–many considered “social welfare” groups–are regularly getting away with breaking election law and aren’t being audited or investigated by the Internal Revenue Service.
And that “social welfare” tag covers a multitude of main-chancers with social-ist [sic] agenda.
Anyhow, it’s not easy staffing a hydra-headed governmental monster:
“The aftershocks from the political targeting scandal certainly don’t facilitate prompt solutions,” said Mark Everson, a former IRS commissioner appointed by President George W. Bush. “I would imagine there is a real slowdown getting issues resolved because there is a tendency on the part of employees to make sure they aren’t causing new problems.”
National sales tax, anyone, doing away with spending-monitoring completely, a.k.a. a Fair Tax solution to hydra-headed-monster problems?
Look here for why . . . .
. . . those intoxicated by the advance of knowledge so often become the enemies of freedom.”
Johnny on the spot:
He came in third. His friend is rooting for him on the far right. Got caught on “exoneration.”
