Voter registration at the parish ... :-)
He nailed it. This is the real issue. Don't tread on me!
Somewhere Cardinal O'Connor is smiling.
I salute this man and his bold response to the criminals in our government. My only question is whether the Cardinal can truly raise 78 million faithful in the Catholic faith. Far too many who think they are Catholic and flatly deny doctrine and practice. Those folks won’t stand.
Democrats are betting that Catholic women feel more affinity with each other than they do to the church. That’s where the dividing line is being drawn.
You can be sure Axelrod focus tested the heck out of this before they embarked on this strategy and learned that it was worth a bet - at least 50/50.
What Axelrod can’t predict is whether women’s minds and hearts might be changed since the initial focus groups were conducted. If they learn this is the case, they will quietly drop this issue with its mandate, and move on to some other wedge issue.
If they still think this is a winning issue for them, they will ramp up the hysteria. If they don’t, it will quietly go away.
In either case, it’s clear they picked a fight with people who are not backing down.
But an angry Irishman is a close second. :-)
Go get 'em, Eminence!
Catholics are behind much of the attack on Catholic beliefs. The Kennedy's, Pelosi, John Kerry, Vice President Joe Biden.
Why haveb't these people been ex-communicated?
It's Halftime in America U.S. Catholics: GET YOUR IRISH UP!
I am not a Catholic but I really like this new Cardinal.
It’s about frickin time the Catholic church was heard on this issue....
I’m always amazed at the lack of engagement on abortion the church has shown considering the pounding they took from the media over the child abuse cases.
I’d like them to invest serious capital in taking on this issue - they have an army of willing souls to help them.
This is an easy issue to win on....
Is there anyone who honestly thinks abortion is ok ?
Didn’t zero claim to have moved the onus to provide birth control and etcetra to the insurance companies? News which the LSM covered with great fanfare?
Didn’t that “law” get added to the federal register that following Friday night without change and without the LSM fanfare?
So the LSM must be ignoring all that Cardinal Dolan is saying rather than admit that zero lied.
I sincerely hope that Timothy Cardinal Dolan has at least a modicum of personal security assistants. I wouldn’t put anything past the thugs and goons of the anti-Christian 0bama regime.
Thank you, Eminence ping!
It’s up to the repubs to frame this issue as a Constitutional not women’s rights issue.
So far they have failed. So what else is new??
Go on the offensive, for a change.
I knew when I watched Cardinal Dolans installation as Arch Bishop that he was going to be a man to be reckoned with. I love Cardinal Dolan and wish him God speed in this battle. I am behind him 100%.
Lord, be with Cardinal Dolan and give him the strength to do your will always.
Saint Michael, be steadfast at his side. Raise your sword to call all warriors of the Lord to your side and lead us with Cardinal Dolan to victory. Gods will be done.
Democrats really do not understand about unchanging fundamental beliefs. They would do almost anything to get and hold onto power. Somehow they thing that with enough coercion anyone will wilt under the pressure. Maybe parts of the Church play the political game way to much but the Demonrats have finally pushed the Church into a corner they cannot back out of.
So time to come out fighting.
Give him a punch in the nether regions for me Cardinal Dolan.

Best wishes to you, but if the Republicans prevail, who’s going to look after the poor, ensure that homosexuals get their privileges, and save the earth? Are they saying that they’re happy to rob convenience stores, but draw the line at banks?
Someone please correct me if I am wrong but everyone keeps saying this is just about contraception. Isn’t the abortion day after pill also included? Isn’t the government trying to call this contraception? It isn’t and it’s such a shame this country (should have been led by the Republicans)hasn’t defined personhood yet after 50 million plus abortions.
