BREAKING: Cardinal Cupich Invites All Chicago Area Priests to an "Open Discussion" This Evening at Mundelein Seminary (Must Have Printed Invitation to Enter)

A source inside the archdiocese just alerted me to this.

It was apparently already planned and privately announced on August 30, but a reminder was just sent out yesterday.

And no, I'm not suggesting that any curious laypeople crash the party in clerical garb. But it will be interesting to read the reports tomorrow.
