Cardinal Francis George, the Archbishop
of Chicago, argues in a recent column that American Catholics risk
their citizenship if they don't conform to the pro-gay “state
religion.”
This religion, he said in a column
titled A Tale of Two Churches, imposes “its own form of
morality on everyone.”
“[T]hose who do not conform to the
official religion, we are warned, place their citizenship in danger,”
he
wrote.
George accused “those who shape
public opinion in politics, in education, in communications, in
entertainment” of imposing this religion.
“We are told that, even in marriage
itself, there is no difference between men and women, although nature
and our very bodies clearly evidence that men and women are not
interchangeable at will in forming a family.”
“Swimming against the tide means
limiting one’s access to positions of prestige and power in
society. It means that those who choose to live by the Catholic
faith will not be welcomed as political candidates to national
office, will not sit on editorial boards of major newspapers, will
not be at home on most university faculties, will not have successful
careers as actors and entertainers. Nor will their children, who
will also be suspect. Since all public institutions, no matter who
owns or operates them, will be agents of the government and conform
their activities to the demands of the official religion, the
practice of medicine and law will become more difficult for faithful
Catholics. It already means in some States that those who run
businesses must conform their activities to the official religion or
be fined, as Christians and Jews are fined for their religion in
countries governed by Sharia law,” he concluded.
And why shouldn't they pay, just like any other political movement?
Basically, what he's really saying, he fears that homosexuals will now do to Christians, what they have been doing to them for two thousand years.
Not to worry tho Bishop, unlike so many Christians, we really do love our fellow man.
