Cardinal Francis George of Chicago quoted Pope Francis when defending the cuts of funding to the Immigration Coalition:

The cardinal quoted Pope Francis, saying that marriage should be “a stable union of man and woman” and that “this union is born of their love, as a sign and presence of Godʼs own love.”
Further quoting Pope Francis, he said that this union is also born of “the acknowledgment and acceptance of the goodness of sexual differentiation, whereby spouses can become one flesh and are enabled to give birth to a new life.”

Judging by this post, you have nothing but personal attacks to make. cleanhippie Nov 2013 #16

Observing your broad brush overreaching conclusions is hardly a personal attack. rug Nov 2013 #17
