Poignant Tribute To Cardinal George On Archdiocese Website

By John Dodge

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Within hours after Cardinal George's death, the Archdiocese of Chicago created a poignant and elegant tribute on its website.

The home page was taken over with a reflective photograph of George with a quote the perfectly captured the cardinal's life mission:

"At some point, Christ will question me: 'What have you done with my people? Are they holier because of your ministry? Are they more generous, more loving toward others?' In short, you are my legacy."

The page also includes links to videos, including George's final Mass from last November
