Statement of Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago, in Response to the Illinois Attorney General Report

On May 23, 2023, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul published a report on his office’s investigation of allegations of child sexual abuse against clergy in the six Illinois Catholic dioceses over a period of nearly 90 years. The Report addresses both how dioceses responded to such allegations in decades past and current policies that help ensure the safety of children and support the healing of survivors. We have not studied the report in detail but have concerns about data that might be misunderstood or are presented in ways that could be misleading.

What is “right” and “wrong”? Is there a right and wrong for everyone, all the time?

These are difficult questions to discuss in our culture. In Who Am I To Judge? with

Dr. Edward Sri, we’ll explore morality and find that it’s not merely a set of guiding

principles for theoretical situations—it is an entire way of life.

Join us to watch the series and discover how to live and talk about morality.

Tuesdays from April 11 to May 30

7:00-8:00 PM

Marian Rm, Lower Level Rectory

Walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit

by Charles Spurgeon

Walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit focuses on what the title suggests. Spurgeon touches on several topics including: battling the flesh, living in the joy and love of the Spirit, praying in the Spirit, and following the Spirit’s lead in our lives.

“When the Spirit of God comes into a man with extraordinary power, so as to fill his soul, he brings to his soul a joy, a delight, an elevation of mind, a delightful and healthful excitement, which lifts him up above the dull dead-level of ordinary life, and causes him to rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.” —Charles H. Spurgeon
