Since I’m incessantly wailing about the pusillanimity of America’s

Catholic bishops, when a bishop actually demonstrates real courage I

feel the need to point it out–and in his homily last Sunday, Francis

Cardinal George, archbishop of Chicago, uncorked a zinger. Attacking

the Chicago Sun-Times for its headline, “Pope Launches Global Campaign

Against Gays,” Cardinal George asserted that far from launching a

campaign of any kind the Pope was merely restating the constant teaching

of the Church.

Is it appropriate to speak of a “money graph” in a statement by a prince

of the Church? While I await a ruling from K-Lo, here it is:

“Because of the concerted campaign in movies and TV shows in recent

years to shape public imagination and opinion into accepting same sex

relations as normal and morally unexceptional, obvious truths are now

considered evidence of homophobia.”

Thanks, as usual, to Hugh Hewitt– and more here.
