Chicago Ald. Proco “Joe” Moreno sure doesn’t lack for gall. He’s telling Chicago Francis Cardinal George to shut up about Catholicism, while setting himself up as an expert on same. Moreno is not only lying about Catholicism’s moral teachings, but takes the gravest offenses ever committed against the Mother Church by homosexuals, the rings of pedophiles that had infiltrated the Church due to her misbegotten tolerance of homosexuality, and sophistically turning those homosexual crimes into grounds against the Church defending its own moral teachings.
What’s next? Telling the police that because someone managed to commit mass murder, they have no longer have any moral basis to invoke the law and arrest him?
I’m no Christian, but I know that in Christianity (as in Judaism), homosexuality is an abomination. How, then, can supporting gay “marriage” be a Christian position? And Moreno keeps underscoring unwittingly his contempt for religious freedom, whether it’s his threat to deny Chick-Fil-A the right to do business in Chicago, his lying about Catholic teachings, or his attempt to give marching orders to the Cardinal.
Commenter Peter Bella:
“[To pro-gay marriage commenter] Richard Sakowski This is not about the Cardinal. It is about Proco Joe. If Chick-fil-A gave money to his political fund(s) he would be donating sandwiches to the Archdiocese. It is always about the money in Chicago. Bribery is the only Chicago value.”
You’d never know from the following Chicago Tribune story, or the other stories I’ve read about the war on Chick-Fil-A in Chicago, that gay marriage is illegal in Illinois. After all, the media aren’t in the information business. You have to read the story from the bottom up, Kathy Shaidle-style, in order to learn that.
Considering that Chicago is 63 percent black and Hispanic, the two most homophobic non-Moslem groups in America (and thousands of Chicago blacks are members of the murder cult, the Nation of Islam!), and the majority of its whites are Catholics, the notion that Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Ald. Proco “Joe” Moreno said they would violate the constitutional rights of Chick-Fil-A, in order to endear themselves to Chicago voters, as militant homosexualists have asserted, is ludicrous. If anything, their stand would harm them with most Chicago residents. (Granted, a relatively low percentage of Chicago’s Hispanics are eligible voters, but they and “Obama” plan on their voting in November.)
Emanuel and Moreno were playing to the rabidly pro-homosexual Chicago media!
Apparently, each man calculated that not pandering to the pc media would result in said media destroying them.
Gen 19:5-8 "and they called to Lot and said to him, 'Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them.' But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him, and said, 'Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly.'"
Jude 7 "Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example, in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire."
Lev 18:22-23 "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."
Lev 20:13 "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death."
1 Cor 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals."
1 Tim 1:9-10 "realizing the fact that (civil) law is not made for a righteous man, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers."
Rom 1:26-27 "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error."

Chicago Cardinal Francis George has stepped in the ring on Chick-fil-A’s gay marriage controversy in a blog post, criticizing Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s statement that the fast food chain’s values “are not Chicago values.”
“Recent comments by those who administer our city seem to assume that the city government can decide for everyone what are the ‘values’ that must be held by citizens of Chicago,” George wrote on the Archdiocese of Chicago's blog Sunday. “I was born and raised here, and my understanding of being a Chicagoan never included submitting my value system to the government for approval. Must those whose personal values do not conform to those of the government of the day move from the city?”
George went on to write: “Approval of state-sponsored homosexual unions has very quickly become a litmus test for bigotry. … Surely there must be a way to properly respect people who are gay or lesbian without using civil law to undermine the nature of marriage.”
Last week, Ald. Proco “Joe” Moreno, 1st, announced he will block Chick-fil-A's effort to build its second Chicago store in Logan Square because the chain's top executive has made clear his opposition to gay marriage.
Archdiocese of Chicago spokeswoman Colleen Dolan said George stands by his blog post on what she called “religious freedom” and said this isn’t the first time the cardinal has sounded off on the issue of gay marriage.
“He’s given many talks and has a lot to say on the freedom of religion and the freedom to be Catholic,” Dolan said. “He doesn’t say things frivolously.”
Of the two and a half years the archdiocese has maintained a blog, Dolan said this post has gotten “by far the largest response we’ve seen – most of it overwhelmingly positive.”
An Emanuel spokeswoman on Wednesday declined to comment on George’s remarks.
Moreno, who touched off the debate last week, fired back at George.
“It’s unfortunate that the cardinal, as often happens, picks parts of the Bible and not other parts,” said Moreno, who added that he was raised Catholic in western Illinois, attended a Catholic grade school and was an altar boy. Moreno said he now occasionally attends church.
“The Bible says many things,” Moreno said. “For the cardinal to say that Jesus believes in this, and therefore we all must believe in this, I think is just disingenuous and irresponsible. The God I believe in is one about equal rights, and to not give equal rights to those that want to marry, is in my opinion un-Christian.”
Moreno also called the cardinal’s reference in the blog to a fictional Council Committee on Un-Chicagoan Activities “hyperbole and rhetoric.”
Moreno noted the church scandal surrounding pedophilia among priests, questioning George’s right to the “moral high ground on equal rights.”
Moreno, who has called gay marriage the civil rights issue of our time, also said the mayor and he are not trying to force their values on anyone, but rather to ensure equal rights.

... Moreno said he now occasionally attends church.... For what? weddings and funerals, press opportunities to show he has 'faith.' Gay marriage is illegal in Illinois, so Moreno is saying he will discriminate against those who oppose an illegal relationship. Of course, the ridiculousness of this cannot even be grasped by Moreno and the other leftists who govern our large cities.
