Chicago's Cardinal George has publically compared a Gay-pride parade to a march by the Ku Klux Klan. Cardinal's comparison is nonsensical | National Catholic Reporter
I believe that the clerical elites in the Roman Catholic hierarchy live in a world of their own, but this whopper threatens to take the cake. Cardinal George's rational seems to be that the KKK is anti-Catholic (which it is) and that the Gay Pride Parade is also inherently anti-Catholic (which is bizarre).
People who disagree with the Catholic Church on personal sexual matters are not automatically anti-Catholic bigots on the order of the Klan. It will take some fast-talking for the Cardinal to get his credibility back up to zero.
