A cardinal takes his medicine
By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | Dec 12, 2012
Cardinal Francis George, who is recovering from chemotherapy after a second bout with cancer, told the Chicago Tribune that his treatment is going well:
He also drinks asparagus juice three times a day, served by the Polish nuns who prepare his meals and insist on the gloppy green potion's healing powers.
“It can't harm me,” George said.
A line from The Quiet Man comes to mind: “The Borgias would have done better.”
