MC Just Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 It has been said that he harbored and helped Dissenters and ruined a lot of beautiful and Traditional Churches...What is the story with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeyman Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Like a lot of people, I suspect his story is pretty complex. But the heart of some of the expressed concern is probably rooted in his perceived role as one of the liberal bishops of America. Here are a few excerpts: Death Penalty Opponent - 1985 [url="http://www.priestsforlife.org/magisterium/bernardincappunishmt.html"]http://www.priestsforlife.org/magisterium/...appunishmt.html[/url] Cancer Patient - 1995-96 [url="http://www.loras.edu/~CatholicHE/IDD/LST.html"]http://www.loras.edu/~CatholicHE/IDD/LST.html[/url] Presidential Medal of Freedom winner - 1996 [url="http://www.medaloffreedom.com/JosephCardinalBernardin.htm"]http://www.medaloffreedom.com/JosephCardinalBernardin.htm[/url] Intriguing biography/history/journalism involving authors Andrew Greeley and Eugene Kennedy - more about Greeley and Kennedy than Bernardin [url="http://www.usao.edu/~facshaferi/SALIERI.HTML"]http://www.usao.edu/~facshaferi/SALIERI.HTML[/url] Remember - you can't believe anything you find on the Internet unless you can verify it through your own research.

popestpiusx Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 If you wanted to point to two people who were most instrumental in destroying the Church in the U.S. the first would be Cardinal Jadot, the Papal delegate (we did not have a Nuncio until 1984) from 1973 - 1980. He is personally responsible for the worst bishops this county has ever seen (including the elevation of both Bernardin and Weakland to the Archbishophric). The second would be Cardinal Bernardin. His reign in Chicago can be summed up very easy by describing his funeral. He had the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Choir sing, and as pallbearers he had six freemasons. His influence and destruction are unimaginable. If you want more information I can give it. However, for the sake of my own mental and physical health I will not post any more about him right now.

MC Just Posted February 5, 2005 Author Share Posted February 5, 2005 (edited) I was looking at those pics you posted of the Traditional Churches. I was in awe. Then I thought to myself "what happened to my Church"? Where did it go?I'm so dissapointed with the church in this country, I cannot believe how far they let this go.

dUSt Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 From my experiences, the liberals seem to speak louder and have thicker skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Just Posted February 5, 2005 Author Share Posted February 5, 2005 [quote name='dUSt' date='Feb 5 2005, 05:34 PM'] From my experiences, the liberals speak louder and stay around longer. [/quote] Yeah so it seems...Well one of the Priests on EWTN once said that we are coming back...The Schools, The Seminaries, Parishes...I just get depressed because it is all i see everywhere. Litrugial abuses, bad music, holding hands, clapping, so called Catholics defending democracy and attacking Rome.. Same ol' homilies about "love" from Priests who are affraid of offending those whose opinions differ from Church teaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norseman82 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I'm from Chicago and have met Cardinal Bernardin and have written to him. To me it is not a matter of liberal or conservative, I just noticed that he did not assert his authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for nice modern Churches, but the churches that Bernardin proposed to destroy were BEAUTIFUL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
