Cardinal Francis George Says American Catholics Are Being Forced To Live Under Pro-Gay Sharia Law
Friday, 9/12/2014 10:47 am

In his most recent column for Catholic World News, Cardinal Francis George, Head of the Archdiocese of Chicago, wrote that Catholics in America are being forced to choose between their faith and the "State religion" which imposes "its own form of morality on everyone."

This new religion, he said, compels people to support things like abortion and gay marriage and, as a result, Catholics who refuse worship this "false god" have now essentially become second class citizens just like "Christians and Jews [who] are fined for their religion in countries governed by Sharia law":

1. State doesn't force any religion. You do, Francis!

[JDDavis]

2. Since when is Sharia law "pro gay"?

This man makes no sense.

[polichick]

3. How does this corrupt organization still have members?

[ann---]

4. They are?

I didn't know the government was forcing us to marry people of the same sex - or to have an abortion. Nor do I see Catholics being fined for anything.

5. Oh, Horseshit, Your Freaking Eminence!

Sharia law isn't pro-gay. Not in any way. Your comparison is bogus on its face.

6. Oh look! Different day, but same hocus pocus bullshit from

the Vatican's diplomats.

7. And what about the Catholics getting raped, shot and heads chopped off in Syria?

Oh wait the Church doesnt like to talk about that.

Its all about bashing gays.

[Retrograde]

8. Maybe my reading comprehension's getting bad as I get older,

but I was under the impression that the recent rulings wrt gay marriage just allowed them, not made them mandatory. The same with abortion: if you don't believe in it, don't have one.

George and his ilk long for the days when they ruled over placid, obedient, often uneducated flocks who filled the pews, kicked up to the Church hierarchy, and if they indulged in sin at least didn't do it openly.

9. Every day some VIP Straight says something blatantly and horrifically anti gay

at no risk to their standing or that of the organization which they serve with this hate speech. Every single day. It's hardly news. It's a constant and defining feature of both religion and politics today.

10. # of gays murdered by catholics vs # of catholics murdered by gays. and the winner is.... nt

11. Most Catholics like me...

support Gay marriage, birth control and abortion for rape, incest & extremely deformed fetus. It is only the single male bishops and cardinals that live in huge mansions along with a few right wing radicals that want to treat women as cows and keep homosexuals in the closet.

12. Oh yes Cardinal, Catholics are so fucking oppressed

[joeybee12]

13. He's too stupid for words

It's even worse than reported.

He should be a confessor to Franco's corpse instead of a Cardinal.
