Theology on Tap is the name given to lectures sponsored by a number of local Roman Catholic dioceses In his invitation to the event, he wrote, “You are very important members of the Church.

Together we can continue the mission of Jesus Christ to bring the Gospel of love, forgiveness and holiness to all the places where we live and encounter others. ”[1]
Clergy abuse scandals
The Archdiocese of Chicago has not been immune from the clergy abuse scandals that have rocked the church in recent years. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago is a Particular church of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States. Prior to the election of Pope Benedict XVI, Cardinal George had spoken with then Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger and asked for his assistance in the matter. After the election of Benedict XVI, the new Pope told Cardinal George that he remembered their previous conversation and that he would attend to the matter.
While George has had to deal with the fallout from clergy sexual abuse cases from many years ago, he has come under fire for his actions during a recent abuse case. George acknowledged that he had made mistakes in the case of Rev. Daniel McCormack, who was charged with two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse on January 21, 2006. Events 1189 - Philip II of France and Richard I of England begin to assemble troops to wage the Third Crusade. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. It is alleged that McCormack had abused two boys repeatedly from 2001 to 2005. Cardinal George has faced criticism for allowing McCormack to remain at his post after allegations first surfaced in August of 2005. At the time prosecutors were not able to move forward because there was not enough evidence. Instead McCormack was told to not have any unsupervised contact with minors and had a personal monitor assigned to him. Cardinal George has since indicated that had he known several months ago what he knew now that he would've removed McCormack from his duties right away. Cardinal George took some responsibility for the matter, saying, "The sins of priests and bishops destroy the church, and I think that's what we're seeing here. "[2]
Despite claims of following the church's procedures for dealing with child-molesting priests, Cardinal George made no attempt to contact the police. Following this incident, the procedures for reporting abuse in Chicago were reportedly reevaluated by a panel and their importance was stressed.

The Archdiocese of Chicago announced on Wednesday, July 26th, 2006 that Cardinal George had bladder cancer and would undergo surgery the next day at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, west of Chicago.
