Yesterday at The Parish™ was the external celebration of Corpus Christi. The Archconfraternity was fully involved, as is proper.

Later, they were also in the procession with Pope Leo XIV from the Lateran to Santa Maria Maggiore.

I notice that His Holiness had Knights of the Holy Sepulchre serving as canopy bearers. Deus vult!
For the record, Blase Cupich’s thoughts on Eucharistic adoration can also be found in a Commonweal article dated September 13, 2021, which as of this writing is still available online, where he says, “Although there are many positive elements in Eucharistic adoration, it also needs the context and direction of Eucharistic catechesis and formation to avoid narrowness and even distorted perceptions of the sacrament itself. For example, without the proper context, Eucharistic adoration can privatize one’s relationship to the sacrament and to the Lord himself.” I particularly note his fear that a person’s relationship with the Lord might be “privatize[d]”. That fear, I think, is indicative of a person whose thinking about religion has been influenced by communism; I mean, just as communism (typically understood) calls for the abolition of private property in the political and social spheres, so communism has been imported into religious thinking, leading to a demand for the abolition of a private relationship between a human being and God. Nevertheless, in Christianity properly understood, one’s relationship with God, although it has many aspects involving other people, is ultimately private: between oneself and God. In Dante’s “Paradiso” many souls are together in that heavenly rose, but each of them is there to look at God.
Isn’t it interesting how Cardinal Cupich is so concerned that the practice of traditional devotions might lead the faithful astray but nary a word of caution on the latest & greatest innovations.

I had an almost-pastor (parish administrator) who seemed to think that outside of the period of Mass, the Eucharist is not God. He also made similar noises as the comments above about “narrowness” etc. I countered that with a letter that included a dozen or so quotes from recent popes, Vatican II, Popes Pius XII, Pius X, and Leo XIII all indicating how excellent eucharistic adoration is, not least because it tends toward better worship at Mass, with a more lively and active involvement with the Mass. After he refused to respond to that letter, I sent it to the bishop; fortunately, that priest is gone and a much better pastor is in place. Thanks be to God. And the bishop.
For every one person who somehow runs astray because of some weird and failed way to handle the presence of the Lord in the Eucharist at Adoration, there are 100 who will be benefited by it. It seems to me that making cavils at eucharistic adoration in general is highly indicative of a great canker of the soul. Both Soupi Cupich and the person who wrote that Commonweal article need to discover the Church and what SHE says about such adoration and submit themselves in humility to Her wisdom.
