[Cicero]

He’s a relatively strong bishop. But he did invite Obama, along with McCain, to the annual Alfred E. Smith dinner.

I don’t know where you draw the line. But I wouldn’t feel comfortable having that extreme abortion supporter at a Catholic dinner.

Matthew
Chapter 9

10

While he was at table in his house, ⁷ many tax collectors and sinners came and sat with Jesus and his disciples.

11

The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher ⁸ eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

12

He heard this and said, "Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. ⁹

13

Go and learn the meaning of the words, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' ¹⁰ I did not come to call the righteous but sinners."

Dolan wasn't appointed to NY at the time of that dinner.

Are you sure that was Dolan??

I thought that took place under Egan.

So did Cardinal Egan.

Anyway, he's also repeated the mantra that "we've wanted healtcare forever" -- meaning universal healthcare, that is. At least, it was printed with quotes around it in an article about him in, I think, Catholic New York.

I do have a visceral reservation about this guy. Maybe because my nemesis was a fat irish guy who happened to be my father-in-law at one time.

But maybe it's just because I'm waiting to see more than a big jovial smiling face saying all the right things.
