Chicago Cardinal Compares Pride Parade to Ku Klux Klan
Cardinal Francis George expressed opposition to a planned route that will take the Chicago Gay Pride Parade in front of one of the city’s oldest Catholic churches, warning that marchers could “morph into something like the Ku Klux Klan.”
Cardinal George spoke Wednesday in an interview with Fox News. He expressed support for Father Thomas Strenn, pastor of Our Lady Mount Carmel church on West Belmont, who said that the presence of the parade, held the last Sunday in June, would be a “sad thing” that could interfere with the mass schedule.
"You don't want the gay liberation movement to morph into something like the Ku Klux Klan, demonstrating in the streets against Catholicism,” said Cardinal George.
Earlier this year, the 2012 parade route was changed and the start time backed to 10 a.m. to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people and concerns about public drinking. On Thursday, however, parade organizers agreed to push the start time back to noon, its original time.

Hey cardinal, it's not about you or catholicism. It's about PRIDE & diversity, something which you know nothing about.
