PS - I didn't put the accent on Archbishop Cuprich's first name - it must have been auto-check. I don't believe he is really blasé, but named for the saint who is known for the blessing of throats each year in early February.

They seem very pleased up there at the Cathedral. What I've seen on Cupich; he's very warm and personable.
