Why does Chicago’s Cardinal Cupich have “major role” in Vatican’s sex abuse summit?

I find his involvement quite objectionable. Here's what he said at the end of August when certain accusations were made regarding what the Pope knew or didn't know about Cardinal McCarrick. "The Pope has a bigger agenda," Cardinal Cupich said. "He's got to get on with other things, of talking about the environment and protecting migrants and carrying on the work of the church. We're not going to go down a rabbit hole on this." So he shouldn't be involved since it's not a big agenda item according to him.

This is from the Wall Street Journal this weekend.

U.S. Bishops to Have Pivotal Roles in Vatican’s Sex-Abuse Summit Cardinal Cupich of Chicago will be on the February event’s organizing committee and a panel headed by Cardinal O’Malley of Boston will help with preparations

The Vatican revealed on Friday that two leading U.S. cardinals and advisers to the pope will play major roles at a February summit on clerical sex abuse, reflecting the prominence of the issue in the U.S. in recent years.

Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago, a prominent ally of Pope Francis, will serve on the organizing committee of the event, which is scheduled for Feb. 21-24, the Vatican said. The pope’s advisory commission on child protection, headed by Cardinal Sean O’Malley of Boston, will take part in preparations, it said.

The accountability of bishops for failure to prevent or punish abuse will be a major topic of the meeting, Cardinal O’Malley said in a statement.

Cardinal O'Malley is excellent. But Cupich? Spare us.

Obvious by now – from the nonce actually – that chief concern of Bergoglio & his bathhouse boys is just to ride all this out enough to keep their global meathouse afloat: & supplied with meat.

Two things now appear quite clear. (1st) that George Bergoglio has hand picked homosexualist Cupich to organize the cover-up in order to to make sure none of this can be traced back to the crime boss himself, that sinister and disturbing guy dressed in white and squatting on the Chair of Peter, who (by-the-way) also made certain that absolutely nothing of substance about this issue could be accomplished at the recent meeting of the bishops of the USA in Baltimore, when he ordered them not to bring up the issue at their gathering there.
and (2nd) Vigano was right about practically everything!
Vi-ga-no! Vi-ga-no!! Vi-ga-no!!!
