The Archbishop and the President




Archbishop Francis George of Chicago

I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history.

When asked how he could take such a strong stand against governmental intrusion into moral and ethical issues, and was accused of not loving like Jesus.

Bishop replied:

 "Jesus is merciful but he is not stupid!"

If you want to read how  we can be merciful but nor stupid, read our works on healing and growth.
