Cardinal Cupich scores again with a call for social action, this time for gun legislation

I challenge you. Can you recall any case where this cardinal missed a headline story about left-leaning or -inspired social issues on which he has failed to fasten?

The nation’s young people are “shaming the adult world into action” on gun violence, said Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich, referring to survivors of the recent school shooting in Parkland, Florida, who have become activists on the issue. “Their voices are a wake-up call that should have been heard years ago.”

“The time for words is over, our children our telling us. What is now required is action,” Cupich said Feb. 28, adding that elected officials should “stop saying that they will pray for victims and uphold family values if that is the only response they care to give to these tragedies.”

Or one in which he has failed to give out the current OK words for us all to chomp on?

Does his “time for words is over” mean he’s gonna drop the issue?

‘Enough Is Enough’: US Students Stage Walkouts Against Guns

Campus hi-jinks.

Declaring enough is enough, tens of thousands of young people from Maine to Alaska walked out of school to demand action on gun violence Wednesday in one of the biggest student protests since the Vietnam era.

Braving snow in New England and threats of school discipline in places like Georgia and Ohio, they carried signs with messages such as “Am I next?,” railed against the National Rifle Association and bowed their heads in memory of the 17 dead in the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

This too shall pass.
