Hopefully, most American Catholics will get the message, loud and clear.

I guess he’s covering all bases and is promoting the church and reaching out to both parties.

Mitt Romney revealed today that Cardinal Timothy Dolan will deliver the closing prayer after he accepts the Republican nomination next week in Tampa.

Normally Roman Catholic Cardinals shouldn't be running for high office, but in this case it would be an upgrade.

Catholic clergy have to stop the charade of being non political or impartial. How could any legitimate Catholic clergyman give credence to the Democrat convention. The Democrat convention by its own admission will be a celebration of abortion and homosexuality. They will renominate a man who not only celebrates abortion but heartily endorses partial birth abortion.The key speaker will be the degenerate Bill Clinton. If Dolan or any other high ranking Catholic prelate gave a blessing at that evil convocation, it would be a sin.

Cardinal Dolan is saying the Benediction, and boy does our country ever need prayer!

I DARE the Dems to invite Dolan to pray - can’t wait to see the femi-nazi outrage and the idiotic comments about this that would come from the likes of Sandra Flukme ... I swear, that last word was a typo, I swear :)

"He made it clear when he accepted the invitation that he would also accept an invitation from the Democratic National Committee to offer a prayer at their convention, should they ask ."

Of course, the chances that they would ask are about as remote as the chances that Obama will release his adoption, passport and college records.

Either VP Paul Ryan is already having an influence or Romney is very clever.

I continue to pray......

I would imagine the opening prayer will be from a preacher from the anti-Christian cult known as Mormans. Probably with the last name of Young or Joe Smith the 5th.

Indeed so!

And....perhaps they all (as we do) have a greater common enemy. The Marxist in the White House, for one.

God has a plan and puts those whom He will into power for reasons we often do not understand.

Ephesians 6:

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. 12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.

"Pray without ceasing." [1 Thessalonians 5:17]

What’s the over/under betting pool on Cardinal Dolan being heckled at the 2012 DNC Convention?

If he did attend and was booed, would SeeBS overdub the boos with CHEERS as then did when the NYPD/NYFD booed Sin. Hillary Clinton at the post-9/11 Concert For NYC?

The hurricane is headed right for Tampa. They need to change the venue to somewhere in Ohio ASAP. They still have time to change it but they need to do it now or it will be a very reduced convention if one at all.
