American Catholic Bishops Deal Leftism A Holy Smackdown

Earlier this week, American Catholic bishops dealt leftism a serious blow when they rejected left-wing, social justice enthusiast Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich's bid for chairman of the U.S. Bishops' Committee on Pro-Life Activities. Instead, the group elected the staunchly pro-life Kansas City Archbishop Joseph Naumann.
The significance of this vote cannot be understated, as it marks the first time in 40 years the USCCB did not select a Cardinal to chair the position.
Winning the vote by a majority of 96 to 82 (mysteriously, there were 34 absentees), Archbishop Naumann ascended to what is perhaps the most important position in the USCCB pertaining to pro-life causes. As noted by Church Militant (https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/cdl.-cupich-defeated), Naumann has the kind of outstanding record of battling against the culture of death that Christians of all denominations should take confidence in.
"Naumann has a spotless pro-life record," reports CM. "He was among the few bishops who publicly declared that pro-abortion politicians — in his case, Catholic Kathleen Sebelius, former pro-abortion governor of Kansas and later Secretary of Health and Human Services, responsible for pushing through the contraceptive mandate forcing Catholic employers to provide birth control for staff — were disallowed from receiving Holy Communion in his archdiocese." ...
Is this part of the deceptive USCCB walk: one step forward (with the election of Naumann) but two steps backwards (with all their other progressive votes and decisions)?

No, some of it is just because Blase Cupich is really that bad. He probably wants to canonize Margaret Sanger.
