"The archbishop of Chicago — the last six have also been named cardinals — is the city’s most prominent religious leader. He’s in the best position to talk about morals and ethics, not only for Catholics but for society in general. It’s a bully pulpit that George has used although not always in ways that some Catholics, including me, have agreed with."

These are the accouterments of Pentecost that leave most of us out of this story. We don’t have wind, or fire; not even usually a fabulously inspired — or inspiring — sermon on Pentecost. What can one say to make sense of this unusual but seemingly important day in the life of Christianity … and Christians?"
