DE PERE, WI (WTAQ) - Graduates and faculty members at St. Norbert College showed lingering resentment over having Catholic Cardinal Thomas George of Chicago as their commencement speaker.
Many wore rainbow-colored ribbons on their gowns Sunday, in a show of support for gay people.
George was heavily criticized last December when he expressed concerns about the route of Chicago’s annual gay pride parade. He feared that the gay liberation movement would, “morph into something like the Ku Klux Klan, demonstrating in the streets against Catholicism.”
