Cardinal Cupich’s “Sacraments of Peace”: Modernist Abomination
Vatican News reports that on March 31, 2026, Cardinal Blase Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago, presided over the Chrism Mass at Holy Name Cathedral, urging priests to be “sacraments of peace” in a wounded world. He described the mission of priests as echoing Christ’s proclamation of “glad tidings to the poor, liberty to captives and sight to the blind,” but framed this entirely in naturalistic terms: accompanying victims of war, resisting “us vs. them” rhetoric, and rejecting “partisan politics or the agenda of the world.” The three holy oils, he stated, call the Church to be a “field hospital” (Oil of the Sick), to allow faith to “seep in gradually” (Oil of Catechumens), and to recognize that true peace “is not imposed externally but grows within” (Oil of Chrism). This teaching manifests the apostasy of the post-conciliar sect, which has systematically desacralized the sacraments, reducing them from efficacious signs of grace to vague symbols of human solidarity, while omitting the supernatural foundations of Catholic faith: the necessity of grace, the reality of sin, the absolute sovereignty of Christ the King, and the final judgment.
