It’s the sort of thing a thoughtful Moslem would say. There is no surprise.
"So Pat and Mike were talking about the Crusa.........
Cardinal Dolan will never be confused with Cardinal Spellman or Cardinal O’Connor.
guess: the cardinals are still in shock about it
(remembering that several of the cardinals made it pretty clear they liked Obama)
let’s give it a few days and see if the cardinals speak out about this desecration of the Christianity and the Church
They probably don’t want people to find out how many protestants were killed by the catholic crusaders on their way to Jerusalem.
Subject: Free Will & Political correctness
It’s interesting the way socialists approach theological concepts but when it comes to Islam they are not the only ones who refuse to approach the issue. That even includes leading Christian clergy including Pope Francis.
Followers of Mohammed not only claim, but truly believe that God has authorized them to kill those who refuse to submit to their version of God’s will. That is a basic tenet of that religion. A claim which goes unchallanged. While it’s understandable for atheists which most socialists are, not to approach that claim on a theological basis. It’s bewildering why any Christian clergy refuse to admit it even exists and is a basic part of Islam creed and worse yet are unable to condem it.
The Koran which was not given to Mohammed by God but by some angel .Demanding enforcement of sharia law which draws heavily from the Torah.It is a pseudo religious concoction using monotheistic selected texts, taken and misconstrued from the old .(bible) and new tertaments. Both of which cite the Almighty has granted free will to accept or obey his laws and is the final judge not man. Sodom and Gormora , “Let he who is without sin cast the stone” are outstanding examples from both books. One deals with sin and God’s decision toward a group the other to an individual, neither is left to man.
Yet followers of Mohammed under the severest of penalties are forbidden to read either which would refute that assertion in a creed which institutionalizes disgusting arab tribal views, observances,and customs. Claiming adhearants are authorized by our Creator to demand submission to it or suffer an ignominious death administered by followers of Islam simply because they answer the call to prayer 5 times a day.

We will hear nothing from Wuerl, Dolan, O’Malley, DiNardo, Chaput (who poses as a “conservative” or “orthodox” bishop), Cupich, or Gomez. All of them insist on giving Communion to pro-abort, pro-sodomy politicians. (It does not bother them that doing so is a mortal sin. Mortal sins for which no one is suing, or about which no journalists care, do not count.)
The reason is that Cardinal Bernardin systematically got the Church addicted to government money. The bishops’ conference in Washington is heavily addicted. The addiction varies greatly from diocese to diocese.
Also, pro-abortion politicians (e.g., Patrick Leahy) have threatened that, if they are denied Communion, bishops will be dragged before Congress for lots and lots of interrogation about the sex abuse scandal.
Finally, photographs exist of certain bishops (e.g., Wuerl, in Pittsburgh) in gay bars. These have been used in the past to silence certain bishops (e.g., Wuerl, in Pittsburgh) on the issue of gay-rights legislation, etc.
Oh, one more thing: Some of the most powerful bishops are not Catholics, do not believe in God, and since their youth are full-on operatives of the Democrat/Marxist/Abortion party.
The Cardinals won’t speak out because of the current Pope, who seems to be more in step with Obama than any previous Pope in modern times.
If he's sinking himself, high religious officials stepping in and attracting fire to themselves will only hurt their religion.
The question is more why the media doesn't publicize Obama's comments (but the reasons for that are well known as it is).
