I don’t have the bandwidth today to cover the “Bishops: Enough is Enough” rally next door to the bishops’ meeting. But I went over on the lunch break, and here’s some things I saw.
Some protestors outside the event:

Cardinal Cupich discourages kneeling to receive Holy Communion:

chicagocatholic.com/cardinal-blase…
For what it's worth, the USCCB clarifies that:

"The norm for reception of Holy Communion in the dioceses of the United States is standing. Communicants should not be denied Holy Communion because they kneel."
Now, I accept that the normative posture is standing, and so for a long time I chose to stand, as a disciplined exercise of obedience to the authority of the Church.

But my daughter Pia changed that.

the future belongs to the people having kids. Image
(this is a PRB fertility rate map)
(and I think that's a good thing, as the people having goods tend to be Christians, and have cultures serious about the common good in all kinds of things.)

Some years ago, a relative -- who had stopped going to Mass -- explained to my dad that he didn't attend the large suburban parish up-the-street because, he said, he "didn't want to be a f*cking butterfly."
My dad wasn't quite sure what this relative meant, until he attended the parish, and saw himself the effete undertones to much of what passed for spirituality there.

and truthfully, I don't think my dad had much of an answer about the parish either.
I raise this for obvious reasons.

Trump did better among women than most pundits predicted, but he also carried a lot of first time male voters under 30. Young men who felt the president spoke to them -- and that much of the current rhetoric of the left was not for them at all.

@lukei4655 He can get an insult of departure. Since the Church permits departure from solemn vows, are you sure about this?
@lukei4655 If Holy Mother Church gives you an indult, I have a hard time with the idea that availing yourself of it puts you in grave danger.
@lukei4655 The theoretical question of dispensation is interesting, but obviously wants the Church grants is an indult, and she has the authority to grant that.

Departing by abandonment is spiritually different from departing with the aprobatio of holy mother church.

Purely from a business perspective, I think one mistake of Church Militant was to significantly build up their operation in the post-McCarrick Catholic media boom.

I suspect they imagined 2018-2019 eyeballs and dollars would last forever.

That left them with a big monthly spend
And then, building a “rage-audience” is also probably short-sighted, from a business perspective, because rage is exhausting so you wear through your audience
Then, of course, defaming a guy…

It appears that the Church Militant website has settled its defamation lawsuit with a financial settlement and apology to a New Hampshire priest:

churchmilitant.com/news/article/s…
the apology admitted that the Church Militant lawsuit allowed disgraced canon lawyer Marc Baliesteri write an anonymous news report about a situation in which he was entangled, in which he made unsubstantiable claims about the NH priest, citing anonymous sources.
On the same day, Church Militant announced that it will liquidate the stock of its Catholic goods online shop, with a 50% off sale: Image
