Chicago Cardinal Says Archdiocese in No Way Supports Gay Games

By John Jalsevac
CHICAGO, July 17, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In a clarification to LifeSiteNews.com Cardinal Francis George of Chicago has denied allegations by the gay-activist Rainbow Sash Movement that the Cardinal himself and the archdiocese of Chicago are in any way supporting the 2006 Gay Games.

This past Friday Catholics and pro-family advocates were puzzled when the infamous Rainbow Sash movement published a press release congratulating the archdiocese of Chicago and Cardinal Francis George for their alleged support of a “religious roundtable” that will take place at the 2006 Gay Games.

“In a stunning gesture of good faith the Archdiocese of Chicago seems to be rethinking its relationship with the Gay and Lesbian Community,” said the press release. “The Archdiocesan Gay and Lesbian Outreach Ministry (AGLO) has added its name to the sponsorship list of the ‘Faith and Fairness’ religious roundtable to be held July 16, 2006 at the Chicago Cultural Center.”

The release continued, saying that the Rainbow Sash movement “applauds Cardinal Francis George for allowing an official Ministry of the Archdiocese to be involved in the religious Round Table.” [Entire Story]

When I read the press release, I just knew it couldn't be true. Cardinal Frances George is consistently loyal to the magisterium of the Church. Someone is playing games here -- the games of deception that are typical of the culture of death.
