Drowning Ann Coulter- Libertarian Leadership - Video
Challenges facing the Catholic church in America require leaders to be "real" and not "get caught up in living in our own little bubble of an idea," newly appointed Chicago archbishop Blase Cupich told NCR in an interview Sunday.
The 65-year-old pastor's ascent to the Chicago archdiocese -- the nation's third largest and historically one of its most important -- has captivated the Catholic world in the United States and represents a potentially important shift in the direction for the U.S. bishops' conference, observers say. One privately called it an "ecclesial earthquake."
Indeed, on the hot-button cultural issues that some have faulted the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops for "obsessing" over since the time of Pope John Paul II, Cupich has earned a reputation for offering calm, cool, caring commentary.
Additionally, he has shown an ability to communicate Pope Francis' messages on economic markets and to balance the full sweep of Catholic social teaching.
"This is a Pope Francis bishop," said Georgetown University's John Carr, who for 20 years served as director of the Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development at the USCCB. He said Cupich has "humble ways, a powerful commitment to the poor, a collaborative style, [and is] nonconfrontational."
Carr, who attended seminary with Cupich in the late 1960s and early '70s, described a man who believes in the power of dialogue and seeks to understand people where they are in the world.
"He has experience with Native Americans in South Dakota, he has experience with migrants in eastern Washington -- that's a part of him now," Carr said. "He has always been smart, always a leader. He's principled. He listens, he learns, he reads, he prays, he leads."
So it comes as no surprise that Cupich's ascension has energized progressive Catholics who want to see Pope Francis' style permeate the American church. The feeling in the air is that he represents a new day.
But what will it take to break past the culture wars within the bishops' conference?
A compare-and-contrast between Cupich and the man he is replacing, Cardinal Francis George, who was president of the bishops' conference from 2007 to 2010, gives a sense of what the new archbishop may be up against.

As Chicago archbishop, Cupich may face culture war mentality
Wikipedia aspires to be a neutral source of verifiable information about just about everything of import. The problem is that sometimes people disagree about what information is relevant or credible. This is particularly the case for politically charged subjects, such as political figures or policy matters over which ideological partisans disagree. The result is that the more controversial the subject matter, the more one has to approach a Wiki page with caution.
The Wikipedia page for Neil deGrasse Tyson is a case in point. As I noted here, Sean Davis has made a powerful case that noted scientist Neil Degrasse Tyson has a tendency to embellish stories in his speeches and public remarks. Most notably, it appears that Tyson wrongly attributed remarks to former President George W. Bush in order to portray the former president in a particularly unflattering light. The tall tale was, according to theTampa Tribunes Tom Jackson, a vicious, gratuitous slander. Others find the charge against Tyson quite credible.
The problem is there is no record of Bush having made the remarks Tyson attributed to him, the alleged speech is not in the White House archive, and Bushs former speechwriters deny any such remarks were given. Moreover, the sentiment Tyson attributes to Bushconflicts with other contemporaneous remarks by the president and other incidental details about Tysons account dont line up.
We all make mistakes, particularly when speaking off-the-cuff. Yet this was not an impromptu remark. Rather it was part of a planned speech and a video of the relevant passage it is highlighted on the Hayden Planetarium Web site. So Tyson would seek to think it is significant. The charge is also the sort of claim that a scholarof Tysons statute should be able to substantiate. Yet as of this writing, neither Tyson nor his representatives have offered any support for the claim, or otherwise responded to the accusation.
So a credible accusation of wrongdoing has been made against a prominent public figure, and the charge has been noted in numerous publications. Including this on a Wiki page is a no-brainer, right? Apparently not. I understand why Wikipedia editors might not want to take sides on the underlying question, as more facts may yet emerge. Yet the fact of the accusation itself would seem to be the sort of thing that would be included in the subjects Wikipedia page, provided it is referenced in a neutral manner (e.g. Tyson has been accused of . . . ).
Since the charges were made there has been a mini-editing war over this portion of Tysons Wiki page. No doubt some of this is due to ideological partisanship. Some intelligent design proponents and climate skeptics wouldto take Tyson down a peg, as would some other conservatives. Others seem just as eager to safeguard his reputation at all cost. Indeed, some of the arguments against referencing Tysons alleged fabricationare quite amusing. Again, however, the charge is out there, and it seems quite credible. Its not as if someone is claiming Tysons speeches were written by Bill Ayers.
All this goes to show that while Wikipedia has its uses,when a Wiki pagecovers matters that are the subject of ideological dispute, the reader should be wary.
