Uplifting words from the new Archbishop of Chicago, Blase Cupich.
Blase Cupich, the new archbishop in Chicago, is one of the first appointments in the US episcopacy made by Pope Francis.
"It should be beneath our dignity as leaders to speak in ways that appeal to the fears and anxieties of people rather than the hopes and yearnings God has planted in their hearts.
"It is not surprising that parishioners, citizens and the public become uneasy and disaffected with community and public life when they see leaders speak in ways that incite fears rather than inspire hope. There is collateral damage in such tactics."
