Pressed
by the interviewer, he didn't walk it back: “The rhetoric of the KKK and
the rhetoric of some of the gay liberation people—who is the enemy? The
Catholic Church,” he said. A Catholic coalition that works toward LGBT

SPIRIT: Cardinal Compares Gay Rights Movement to KKK?
Gay
rights groups in Chicago are criticizing the city's Catholic cardinal
for drawing a comparison between the gay rights movement and the Ku Klux
Klan, reports the Chicago Tribune.
Weighing in on a dispute between a local pastor complaining about the
timing of a gay pride parade, Cardinal Francis George told MyFox Chicago
he sided with the pastor: "You don't want the gay liberation movement
to morph into something like the Ku Klux Klan, demonstrating in the
streets against Catholicism."
