Axios! What good news!
Out of curiosity, is Cardinal George of Lebanese descent? Does anyone know?
God bless,

All I know is that His Eminence, Francis Eugene Cardinal George, was born here in the Northwest side of Chicago and he is the first Chicago native to be named as Archbishop (8th) of the Archdiocese.
His parents were Francis J. George and Julia R. McCarthy.

I always thought he was of Irish descent.
Another case of those dark-looking Irish?
