Instead of gold, Chicago's Cardinal Francis George gave 400 couples celebrating their golden 50th anniversaries an earful of bigotry. Speaking at a mass anniversary party, the Cardinal told the straight couples on hand that the "friendships" of gay people must not be made legal.
“Marriage is what it is, what Jesus said from the beginning: Two in one flesh, for which man leaves his family and joins himself to his wife; and wife leaves her family, and joins herself to her husband,” he said.
“There must surely be ways in our civil society, where we can honor friendships, where we can respect other people, without destroying the nature of marriage," he added. "It is very important, for your whole lives, give witness to what marriage truly means. And while civil laws might change – if they do – then society will be the worse for it.”
Hmm. Wonder what kind of hate speech he plans to give as a gift to couple's celebrating their 60th anniversaries?
