[Heart-Rest]

Catholic media entities and personalities (such as "EWTN" and "Teresa Tomeo") continue to feature, support and endorse Cardinal Dolan as a great spiritual teacher for all of us through their media outlets, even though he is now publicly advocating for the allowance of open promotion of mortal sin (active homosexuality) during the public celebration of a Catholic Saint, St. Patrick. Should those media people publicly sever that support for Cardinal Dolan, and stop featuring his Radio and TV programs (like the series he did this year for EWTN during lent)?

For some additional background information, please see the following links (with thanks to the original posters who shared these links first).

• "BREAKING: NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade Goes Gay - Dolan Cheers!" - ChurchMilitantTV

• "Wicked Bishops" - ChurchMilitantTV

• "As I Have Been Screeching for Years, Timothy Dolan is an Unmitigated Jackass" - Ann Barnhardt

• "When Paul Corrected Peter" - George Neumayr, The American Spectator Magazine    (This Biblical principle also applies to correcting Cardinals and other leaders.)

(Please pray with me for Pope Francis, Cardinal Dolan, the USCCB, all bishops and clergy, EWTN, Teresa Tomeo, the malleable Bill Donohue, and for all of the rest of us.    That should keep all of us busy for a while...)

(I'm also praying that Cardinal Dolan will be reassigned very soon to some cloistered monastery, possibly in a desert in the middle of the Middle East somewhere, or maybe somewhere deep in the jungle, in order to spend the rest of his life in silence and penitential solitude and contemplation for the rest of his earthly days, in prayerful meditation on the meaning and nature of "sin", and "forgiveness", and the meaning of the command, "Go and sin no more".)

In these sad and challenging days, if Cardinal Dolan (along with his fellow travelers) "gets your Irish up", here are a few songs you might want to listen to...

"Hail Glorious St. Patrick"

"Danny Boy"

"Faith of Our Fathers"

Discernment is not judgement.

IMHO:
If I can read the Scriptures, and they say, for example, that adultery is a sin, then I know, from God’s Word, that adultery is a sin. That is discernment.

If I know that adultery is a sin, and I get angry/reject/hate someone who willfully and repeatedly practices adultery, that is judgement.

So, I can tell the adulterer that he/she is sinning, but I don’t reject/hate/etc. because judgement does not belong to me.

That’s the way I think about it, and it’s harder to put into practice than it is to write about it.
