Breaking news from Rome this morning. Pope Francis has named Chicago Cardinal Blaise
00:00:04.420
Cupich to the Vatican's Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments.
00:00:09.080
This is the same homosexuality-promoting Cupich, the same one famous for wanting to give communion
00:00:15.860
to pro-abortion politicians and homosexual couples. The Congregation of Divine Worship,
00:00:20.900
by the way, is in charge of liturgy in the Church, which means the Mass, or the Eucharist,
00:00:26.440
known as the source and summit of the Church. You know, Satan obviously knows where to strike.
00:00:33.300
I want you to check out the full coverage at LifeSite News by journalist Michael Haynes, but
00:00:37.520
here are a few of the highlights, or in this case you might say the lowlights.
00:00:42.280
But this is the John Henry Weston Show, so stay tuned.
00:00:56.440
Let's begin, as we always do, with the sign of the cross.
00:01:06.340
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
00:01:12.420
So, the disaster of the Francis papacy seems to have taken on a new turn this week,
00:01:18.240
with the quick succession of scandalous appointments.
00:01:21.260
First, we saw the elevation of San Diego Bishop Robert McIlroy, appointed to the College of Cardinals.
00:01:28.720
And just today, we see Pope Francis appointing Blaise Cupich, among others,
00:01:32.780
to the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments.
00:01:36.940
So, usually, in the midst of Francis' scandals, there would have been some kind of orthodox-sounding story,
00:01:43.880
so as to soften the blow of the scandalous appointments.
00:01:47.080
But now, it seems there is a no-holds-barred approach.
00:01:51.940
Some people have suggested that perhaps Pope Francis is dying,
00:01:54.840
and wants to get in, you know, all of the activity that he wants in.
00:02:00.760
However, to understand the gravity of the appointments,
00:02:04.160
let's focus on the liturgical approach of Cardinal Cupich.
00:02:07.780
First of all, remember that he has been doing whatever he could to restrict the traditional Latin Mass.
00:02:17.220
This is Cupich presiding over a Mass in what looks like a high school gymnasium,
00:02:21.960
where, at the beginning of the Mass, people stand as the dragon comes out.
00:02:27.440
It's a dragon that comes out and is blessed by Cupich.
00:03:03.000
Good fortune upon your head, miraculous light glittering to your eyes,
00:03:25.740
your ears, capturing sounds from all directions.
00:03:33.240
May the most favorable auspices, big fortune, and great profit be to you
00:03:40.500
throughout the whole year, from the beginning all the way to the end.
00:03:49.780
And if that's not enough, watch this Mass, where Archbishop Cupich presiding at it,
00:04:09.840
right at the point, actually, after consecration, where the priests and the deacon sometimes,
00:04:15.200
but the priest or deacon or both lift up the body and blood of Jesus in the chalice and the sacred host
00:04:24.440
The priest usually says there, through him, with him, in him, and so on.
00:04:31.960
And in this video, you're going to see there's a few ladies who do a kind of swaying dance
00:04:40.280
It's called a smudging ceremony that takes place right in the middle of the Mass.
00:04:45.520
Okay, so I'm sure you've been scandalized already,
00:05:07.700
but let me give you a few more of the appointments and their significance from the LifeSite coverage.
00:05:13.300
So, Cardinal Louis Antonio Tagli, prefect of the Congregation of Evangelization of Peoples,
00:05:20.260
hailed as a possible future pope and known for his promotion of the LGBT ideology,
00:05:28.980
Also, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the prefect of the Dicastery for Laity and Family and Life,
00:05:35.420
who is also opposed to the Vatican's ban on same-sex blessings and the current papal Carmelengo,
00:05:44.340
Farrell, by the way, was a close colleague of ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick.
00:05:49.160
Also, there's Cardinal Lopez Romero, who is the Archbishop of Rabat in Morocco
00:05:54.780
and a member of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue,
00:05:58.980
who was praised by dissident Jesuit Father Thomas Rees
00:06:03.380
for his ecumenical dialogue with the Muslims in Morocco.
00:06:15.880
who's praised, by the way, the German synodal way.
00:06:22.840
But even beyond the cardinals who are appointed,
00:06:25.920
there's bishops appointed to the Congregation for Divine Worship,
00:06:34.380
and he is Hamilton, Ontario, Canada Bishop Douglas Crosby.
00:06:39.040
Bishop Crosby backed a move to fly the gay pride parade flag at Catholic schools.
00:06:46.020
He actually muzzled the priest of his diocese from speaking out in opposition to it.
00:06:51.360
He went so far as to remove one priest from the diocese
00:06:54.960
who spoke out against the gay pride flags flying at Catholic schools.
00:07:00.760
Bishop Crosby forced parishioners to wear masks in church
00:07:04.720
and ordered his priests to deny the faithful Holy Communion
00:07:12.820
He also warned his priests, who refused the vaccine,
00:07:19.140
And while he forbade a speaker in his diocese speaking against graphic sex education in schools,
00:07:27.060
Bishop Crosby ignored the pleas of the faithful Catholics
00:07:31.100
to ban two former priests, one actually a bishop,
00:07:35.540
from speaking at a Catholic college in his diocese on issues promoting homosexuality.
00:07:50.040
he's been appointed to the Congregation for Divine Worship.
