Synod: Interview with Cardinal Francis George
Interview with Cardinal Francis George
October 15, 2008
If the typical American bishop once upon a time was a ?bricks and mortar? man, Cardinal Francis George of Chicago is anything but typical. He?s a scholar-prelate who loves to chew over ideas (George holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from Tulane), and he also has a deeply cosmopolitan view of the world ? a fruit, in part, of having lived for more than a decade in Rome as the Vicar General of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate.
