By David G. Bonagura, Jr., Catholic World Report - The day before his elevation to the Sacred College of Cardinals was announced, Archbishop Francis George of Chicago, delivering an unprepared homily at a Saturday evening Mass, threw down a challenge to “liberal Catholicism.” He called it “an exhausted project” that “no longer gives life” to a Church it was so bent on critiquing. But just as quickly, he cautioned that the answer to this “turning point in the life of the Church” is “not to be found in a type of conservative Catholicism obsessed with particular practices and so sectarian in its outlook that it cannot serve as a sign of unity of all peoples in Christ.”
