This contradicts what his associate priest, Father Emanuel Torres-Fuentes (ordained in 2018), said last week during a live-stream, “Following the directive of Cardinal Cupich, we want to remind everyone that the prayer to Saint Michael is not to be said publicly following Mass.”
According to Trout, Cupich declared that "the recitation of prayers must never interfere with, interrupt or distract from the public liturgy of the Church,” and that “such prayers must always foster the unity of the Church, which is [allegedly] guaranteed by the Successor of Peter.”
The priest's statement then explains that Father Torres-Fuentes "misspoke" when he "falsely attributed statements to Cardinal Cupich.“ The decisive point is that after this verbiage the Saint Michael prayer will not continue at St Joseph.
Reciting this prayer after Mass was introduced in 1886 by Leo XIII and abolished with the 1969 Novus Ordo. Francis to whom Trout refers, recommended the prayer in September 2018.
Cupich has a history of passing the buck to his priests.
