How about not hobknobbing with Obama? I think he’s been downright weak in opposing Obama. All we have from him is some pretty empty words. How about dealing with unions (all of which are pro-abortion), Democrat Catholics, pro-abort politicians, etc.? He’s done none of that. None of it.
“Are you a Roman Catholic??”
Everyone here knows what I am - and it isn’t relevant to this discussion. Dolan is intelligent, a good speaker, but other than his prayer at the Democratic Party Convention he’s been rather weak when it comes to being pro-active for the Church. When he starts talking about Canon 915 and banning Catholic pro-aborts from recieving communion, then I might start to believe he’ll be anything other than an average pope if elected. As pope he’ll be a great talker. We need a doer, not a talker.
The weird thing is Obama actually lost the Catholic vote in NY last time, something like a 12 point swing from 2008 if I recall. I don’t know when or if that has happened before. Have to think some of that was from the noise he made over some of this stuff. Agree with you on the lack of discipline though, maybe it would have made a bigger difference. I wonder what a hardline African bishop would do about discipline and public Catholics. I’m not sure how they handle that stuff over there, or what issues they just don’t have to deal with.

Vlad....I’ve been here since 1998 and I have NO idea of what you are. I asked you a simple question...are you a Roman Catholic......it’s a Yes or No answer. I am a Roman Catholic.....it’s not hard to answer that little question.
Excellent post.
