Latest Column by Cardinal Cupich: What the Church Offers
For generations, the influenza pandemic of 1918 was merely an event in our history books — something that happened during a world war, a time when people lived very different lives and modern medicine had not yet been invented. This pandemic too, will be registered in the history books.
