Cardinal George (of Chicago): “The choice was clear”

From chicagotribune.com yesterday:
Cardinal George: The choice was clear:

“…When George greeted Ratzinger for the first time as Holy Father, he said he kissed his hand and promised his love and obedience in halting German. The new pope responded in English and indicated to George that he would renew a U.S. church policy that gives bishops the power to discipline sexually abusive priests without having to appeal to the Vatican for their removal from the priesthood.”
