I attended Mass last night with Cardinal George at Holy Name Cathedral. It was a Mass for College Students, and his homily was anything but cushy. He seemed really fired up coming from Burke's Installation. He argued that Freedom of Conscience is not the same of Freedom of Belief. That one can belief whatever you want, but that does not make it right, rather you have Freedom to form your Conscience Correctly, and to form our Conscience correctly we look at the Truth of the Church as handed down for the last 2000 years from Christ and His Apostles. It was a wonderful homily. He challenged us to form our consciences rightly, to act rightly and to live it. Really powerful homily.

Burke is a leader! He seemed a bit nervous ... who wouldn't be in that position? But he used his own Installation Mass to set the tone for how he will shepherd this diocese. As the camera panned the priests in attendance, you could get a sense of where some of these prelates stood on various issues.

Glad to hear that his inspiration is spreading!
