Hopefully the American Catholic Church will recognize what a visionary Joseph Bernardin was.  Only in his last year did the nation get to see the man's Christianity as he bravely faced his own death.  But long before that the thousands who came into personal contact with him felt his humanity and his keen perception of reality.  After his death he was reviled by those who were not as understanding.  A less Christian bishop would look down on current events and say "I told you so."
