Daily Catholic Quote from Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I.

by ICL Editor | September 18, 2014 4:30 am

“It takes a deep faith to ‘swim against the tide,’ as Pope Francis recently encouraged young people to do at last summer’s World Youth Day. 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.” (Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I., Archbishop of Chicago, Catholic New World, September 7, 2014)
