Cardinal Blase Cupich's Involvement in the Democratic National Convention and Planned Parenthood
Progressive Catholic Archbishop of Chicago, Cardinal Blase Cupich, offered an invocation at the Democratic National Convention without mentioning Jesus Christ, focusing on peace and unity. Planned Parenthood provided free abortions and vasectomies during the DNC, sparking criticism. Cardinal Cupich downplayed the centrality of abortion as a moral issue, advocating for a broader 'consistent ethic of life.' He was named in a whistleblower report regarding his appointment as archbishop of Chicago.
