The current archbishop of New York’s eagerness to please must be the reason why he is constantly the object in Rome, even at the highest possible circles, of the strongest mockery and disdain.
LOL. Are we talking about the same "Who am I to judge?" Rome? Don't be so sure that Dolan is the object of mockery there.
Michael Voris has more on this atrocious scandal, if you’re interested:
No, thank you. Michael Voris whines a lot about the bishops and never makes a point of acknowledging the elephant in the room : Francis.
can he be fired?
At the time, Dolan's election to the presidency of the USCCB in 2010 was viewed as a move towards orthodoxy. How could he not be, replacing Kicanas? But Dolan won that election by a vote of 54% to 46%, roughly the same percentage split that we see coming out of Catholics in political elections.
While Dolan might be an improvement over Kicanas, there were other more-conservative bishops who were also in the running. Their wide loss to Dolan (the most conservative, Chaput, only garnered 38% of the vote) told me that the USCCB wasn't moving to the right. My theory in 2010 was that, contrary to prevailing opinions (hopes) at the time, Dolan would out himself as being a political insider and a moderate liberal at best. And here we are!
Homo groups have been banned as have been other groups with a political message. I'll bet the commie mayor of NYC put the arm on the parade organizers.
Another leftist politician sides with gays. Shocking.
Was Cardinal Dolan ever on the short list for the Papal position when Benedict retired?
I’ve heard it said...
