"Catholic Politicians versus Catholic Authority"


Archbishop Gustavo Garcia - Siller of San Antonio thinks Illinois Governor Pat Quinn is
right on.

In the latest issue of Today's Catholic he even lauds Quinn's position on the Death Penalty issue.

But!

Springfield, Illinois, Bishop Thomas John Paprocki doesn't!

For him, the issue is so - called "Civil Unions."

From the TFP's Crusade Magazine. May / June 2011.


"Bishop Thomas John Paprocki of the Diocese of Springfield, Illinois, rebuked Illinois Governor Pat Quinn after the governor claimed that his faith animated him to actively support the passage of a civil unions legalization bill.

"Bishop Paprocki said in a statement [The governor] did not say what religious faith that would be, but it certainly is not the Catholic faith... "


Bishop Paprocki then goes on to explain about Governor Quinn:



" ....if he wishes to speak as a Catholic, then he is accountable to Catholic authority, and the Catholic Church does not support civil unions or other measures that are contrary to the natural moral law..."


Way to go, your excellency! :)
