	Election of George Opposed Chicago Sun-Times September 2, 2007 http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/539404,CST-NWS-metro02s1.article A Catholic lay group is appealing to American bishops not to elect Chicago's Cardinal Francis George as their next president because of his record on clergy sexual abuse. In a letter to the bishops, Voice of the Faithful cited George's handling of convicted predator priest Daniel McCormack, who was sent to prison in July for molesting boys. The group cited church officials who said George didn't follow a review board's recommendation to remove McCormack from ministry after abuse was reported in 2005. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops elects a new president in November. The post usually goes to the vice president -- who, currently, is George.
