Chicago: Calling
the Catholic Church's latest controversy a "new low," Chicago Cardinal
Blase Cupich urged his fellow bishops to hold one another accountable
and accept leadership from lay people on issues related to clerical sex
abuse, while also praising Pope Francis' response - or lack thereof - to
accusations by his former ambassador to the U.S.

The
president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said he was "eager
for an audience" with Pope Francis to gain his support for the bishops'
plan to respond to the clergy sexual abuse crisis.
In
an Aug. 27 statement, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston also
said that the questions raised by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, former
nuncio to the United States, in a letter published by two Catholic
media outlets "deserve answers that are conclusive and based on
evidence."
