25 Years Today, Beloved Chicago Priest Becomes Cardinal Francis George | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

It was 25 years ago today that a beloved priest and native son of Chicago became a cardinal of the Catholic Church. Cardinal Francis George's journey to that moment is a story of challenges, miracles and extraordinary humility along the way. The late cardinal died in 2015. After a long wait and lots of demand, his biography will be released next month. Author of the new book "Glorifying Christ: The Life of Cardinal Francis E. George," Michael Heinlein, joins to talk about those early years in the life of Cardinal Francis. He went to be a priest, then a bishop and finally a cardinal. Heinlein explains how Cardinal Francis stayed grounded with a focuse on service. For years now fans of Cardinal Francis have demanded a biography on the man. Heinlein tells us what finally made him write the book. He fills us in on whether we are looking at a future saint here. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
