Wonder why Cardinal Dolan did not make the same offer to the RNC particularly when the Republican platform does not offend Catholic doctrine as the Democrat platform does.
Did you check to see where this prayer was offered at???
Okay I just noticed I am mistaken and Cardinal Dolan did offer benediction at the Republican convention.
He did not offer because he was invited to say the concluding benediction. The DNC, on the other hand, did not extend an invitation. Instead, they invited a renegade nun to lead the delegates in prayer on day 3 of the convention. When Dem Catholics protested, the invitation was then extended to Cardinal Dolan. Last night, he delivered the closing night benediction at the RNC. Next week, he will be in Charlotte to deliver, one supposes, the same benediction at the DNC.
