"There will be consequences for the Church and society that will become clearer as the law is used to sue for discrimination. The law has made some gays and lesbians happy, and that is not a bad thing in itself. The law, however, is bad law because it will contribute over the long run to the further dissolution of marriage and family life, which are the bedrock of any society. The Pope was not speaking about approving gay marriage. To use his words against his teaching, as they were used on the floor of the State House of Representatives on November 5, is less than intellectually honest." -
Cardinal Francis George, in a letter than he has ordered to be read tomorrow to all congregations in the Archdiocese of Chicago.
PREVIOUSLY ON JMG: In January, Cardinal George
demanded that every Catholic in Illinois oppose same-sex marriage. In December 2012, Cardinal George
