Cardinal George Has The Authority To Protect Life And Marriage In Illinois

Rockford, Il –– 1-1-2013 – by Rockford Pro-Life Initiative – Illinois has a Catholic Governor, Pat Quinn, who publicly supports murdering babies in the womb and the soul-destroying legalization of homosexual marriage.  Governor Quinn proudly and publicly claims he does these evils because of his faith. All of our Illinois Bishops remain silent in the face of this mockery of the life, marriage, and the Catholic Faith.

Governor Quinn is also under the authority of Cardinal George who has flatly refused to use his authority to discipline Gov. Quinn. Is it any wonder that our “Catholic” Governor continues his destruction of human life and families when the leader of the Church in Illinois refuses to use the authority of his office to excommunicate a Governor who uses his Catholic faith and political power to destroy countless human lives and souls.

Recent comments from Cardinal George about the possibility of homosexual marriage being passed in Illinois show a lack of urgency in defending the faith, “You want to be sure that everybody has a chance at happiness. That’s a very persuasive argument,” George said.

Cardinal George also said the homosexual marriage bill’s introduction has some “inevitability to it now.”

If Cardinal George and all the Illinois Bishops declare that any politician who claims to be Catholic, including Gov. Quinn, votes for a homosexual marriage bill would be automatically and publicly excommunicated, this would stand a very good chance of protecting marriage. If the bill still passed, excommunicating these heretical politicians who be a public sign to our Lord and Savior that there are still people who are not cowards in the face of the culture of death.

Please contact Cardinal George and ask him to excommunicate Governor Quinn if he signs a homosexual marriage bill in to law.

Rockford Christians Stand up For Truth

On Friday, June 8, over 100 Christians stood at the corner of Alpine and State to protest the HHS mandate that would require Christian ministries and institutions to supply abortion-inducing drugs to their employees.

It was good to have at least four members of the clergy and many young people join in this public witness and prayer vigil.

A small group of homosexuals showed up to counter protest.  People wondered why homosexuals were protesting to force Christians to pay for abortions and contraceptives since homosexuals themselves would not need these destructive practices.  But after talking with some of the counter protesters, it was clear they came simply because they hate Christian truth and love concerning life and family issues.

Their presence did not deter from the positive impact this rally had on passers-by and the devout prayers that were offered for our country.

“The eyes of the arrogant man will be humbled and the pride of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.” Isaiah 2:11

On Saturday June 10, about 25 Rockford area Christians prayed and witnessed outside   the homosexual Rockford Pride Fest.  Christians handed out brochures that shared what the Bible teaches about homosexuality and were even able to engage in conversation with some of the Pride Fest participants.

It was a beautiful sight to see these Christians humbly praying, sharing the truth concerning God’s love, and others holding pro-family signs.

The Pride Feast ran from 11:00 am – 11:00 pm ,and Christians were sharing the Gospel every hour the “pride” fest was taking place.

The “LORD truly was exalted” this day by a small but faithful, loving, and courageous group of Christians.
