At USCCB meeting in November, 2019, card. Cupich and bp. McElroy made attempts to soften the Bishops' statement on abortion. McElroy infamously argued that “It is not Catholic teaching that abortion is the preeminent issue that we face.” A leading cause of death worldwide makes abortion unambiguously preeminent issue that we face. Whether someone is a Bishop or not. Catholic or not. https://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=44088
