.- The
group, Catholic Citizens of Illinois, are calling on Governor Rod
Blagojevich to remove homosexual activist Rick Garcia from the
Governor’s Commission Against Discrimination and Hate Crimes because of
what they see as his own hate-filled agenda.
Garcia recently
called Chicago’s Francis Cardinal George a “bigot” for his, and the
Catholic Church’s stance against homosexual marriage and the practice
of homosexuality.
Mary Anne
Hacket, president of Catholic Citizens of Illinois, said that “We are
offended by Garcia’s frequent attacks on the Catholic Church and all
Christians for their belief in biblical values.”
She added the
group’s disdain for “his attacks on the Illinois Family Institute which
has been effective in the defense of marriage and efforts to place a
referendum on the ballot to define marriage in Illinois as a union
between one man and one woman.”
“The type of
hatred Rich Garcia spouts on a regular basis”, Hacket charged, “has no
place on a commission financed by the taxpayers and he must be removed
from the Commission at once.”
