Chicago is full of Catholics who have been voting Democrat and living in the Democrat bubble for a very long time...Cardinal Francis George was born in Chicago but he finds himself opposed to Democrat Governor Pat Quinn who claims to be Catholic......will Chicagoans turn toward the Republican party or will the Democrats continue to stampede over their long-held beliefs and end in disaster as Cardinal George imagines...once the liberal mask disappears....?
When Gov. Pat Quinn signed into law same-sex marriage in Illinois, he did more than redefine marriage in the state. His pen may have burst the bubble in which many Illinois Catholics live.
...
The civil rights movement in Chicago taught Democrats that they could say one thing and do another, and get Catholics to go along with them. Democrat segregationists in Chicago won by putting a liberal mask on their policies. Today, living in the bubble, few notice that if Catholic Democrats really wanted civil rights for blacks in the 1960s, why is Chicago still the most segregated city in the nation?
...
The Democratic Party now stands against what Catholics should believe. Let's make a list: abortion on demand, the contraceptive mandate, continued urban segregation, same-sex marriage, and unending illegal immigration. The list goes on.
With this list in mind, it looks like the present-day Democratic Party will bring Cardinal George's prophecy to fruition. Many will be asked to choose: Catholic or Democrat? If history is a guide, most will choose Democrat.
That choice will be fraught with consequences. It could lead to what happened in Cuba or Nigeria. It could mean, as Cardinal Francis George imagines, lining up faithful Catholics against a wall in Chicago and shooting them dead. Nothing breaks your bubble like being shot by those you trusted.
