What rankles him the most is the government's narrow definition of a religious institution. Your local Catholic parish, for instance, is exempt from the birth-control mandate. Not exempt are institutions such as hospitals, grade schools, universities and soup kitchens that employ or serve significant numbers of people from other faiths and whose main purpose is something other than proselytization.
This is what "rankles him [Dolan] most" ... because ObamaCare is forcing the Catholic bishops to do something they never wanted to do: Take their institutions -- such as hospitals, grade schools, universities and soup kitchens -- and return them to what should have been their main purpose all along: PROSELYTIZATION
Little barry bastard knows such institutions in the name of a religion work to proselytize, that’s why he send so many of our tax dollars to Hamas! Of course, with a dead-soul media that truth never surfaces there.
Evangelization has always been the main purpose of the priest. The final blessings of the new translation in the Mass say it all.
One is “Go forth glorifying the Lord with your life.”
I’m writing from memory here, but there are several others.

Careful now. Everyone knows that Catholics don't proselytize. That's for congenitally unintelligent sub-human Bible-thumping trailer trash, not persecuted intellectuals.
Catholicism continues via the sexual reproduction of Irish/Hispanic/Italian/French/Portuguese/Vietnamese/Polish/Filipinos, not by anything so declasse as proselytization. That's only for bigoted religious fanatics. [/sarcasm]
Be careful. Your co-religionists might label you a "Protestant" or "anti-Catholic" and hound you off the forum. And unfortunately, that ain't sarcasm!
