My Chat with Cardinal George
May 5th, 2008 by Joe
At my D. Min. graduation ceremony Saturday, I had a brief moment with Cardinal Francis George after he handed me my diploma and we waited for the photographer to snap a picture. After we shared greetings and pleasantries, we enjoyed the following exchange:
Joe: “So, I’ll see you again this Tuesday night at the Catechetical Ministries Awards Banquet.”
Cardinal George: “Oh, that’s right.”
Joe: “After all, I am a catechist. And that’s more important than being a doctor!”
Cardinal George: “Yes, yes, you’re right. But it sure is nice to be a doctor too!”
