And then he followed up with words to the effect of "just wait a few weeks until after the election. Everything will be back to normal." He's either a non-believer or a fool.
Maybe he’s both, but he’s shrewd. It’s becoming clearer how His Eminence can champion the cause of Dorothy Day. She also paid lip service to the Commandments and teachings of the Church while she decried “sexual immorality” and sacrilegious communions at Catholic Worker farms but did nothing. She proclaimed publicly that she would obey if ordered by legitimate Church authorities to change her paper’s name even after she had refused to do so. Similarly, Dolan’s behavior violates Canon 915, so his praise of Day’s “prophetic disobedience” is no surprise. As Day was, His Eminence is a wearer of the “seamless garment” when it comes to life issues. Carol Byrne’s “The Catholic Worker Movement (1933-1980): A Critical Analysis” documents Day’s many deficiencies, which Cardinal Dolan shares and celebrates.
We need an Archbishop of New York who is not a “cheesehead”; who follows Canon 915; who recognizes the priority of abortion over immigration and prison issues; and who faces the fact that things are going bad in his Archdiocese, which has the dishonor of being the abortion capital of the US.
