Thanks. But you avoided answering the question of why do you disapprove of Dolan?
Isn’t Dolan a “real” Roman Catholic leader? He’s still in office now.
He looks and acts like many Catholic church leaders to those watching from outside the RCC. Fairly typical in his religious position, it appears.
Sadly he has received the Sacrament of Holy Orders and has been consecrated a bishop. He is a "real" Catholic prelate.
As we have seen in the past 2,000 years, there are very worthy leaders and there are, sadly, unworthy leaders. A lot of folks were happy when he was named as Archbishop of New York, as there were a lot worse who could have been named.
A lot of people are eating their words.
The national media, when they want a Catholic spokesman, go to people like Dolan and Wuerl (and, to a lesser degree, Gomez). Why?
First, the national news studios are located there and so it's easy access.
Second, did you ever wonder why the media go so often to Repubicans like McLame and Gramnesty? They go to Dolan and Wuerl for much the same reason.
What can be done? Pray for the next Pope to be more theologically conservative while, simultaneously active enough to be willing to reassign those bishops who act like a Dolan...
He looks and acts like many Catholic church leaders to those watching from outside the RCC. Fairly typical in his religious position, it appears.
He appears and acts like many Protestant leaders as well to those watching from any reigious perspective...
But perhaps I’m wrong in asssuming you have some intelligent point to make...
