Remember that hideous cross with the Christ figure standing with a backwards foot? Looking at it has always given me an uncanny valley feeling. The late Cardinal Bernadin used to wear the same cross and the wonderful Mary Ann Kreitzer wrote about it and what kind of man Bernadin really was. Eira Wulfnothsson has a video discussing the same thing. In Italy and Chicago there are going to be diocesan events celebrating Bernadin's memory. It's been speculated that this is the lead up to someone putting forward his cause for canonization.
We've had some canonizations in the past that make people look askance but if Cardinal Bernadin, is made Servant of God or Blessed or Saint then it would be an open rank and obvious obscenity.
