SPECIAL REPORT
Dolanism and the Dolanites

Welcome to this Special Report to The Vortex where lies and falsehoods are trapped and exposed. I’m Michael Voris.

What a fantastic way for a Prince of the Church to begin Holy Week .. to deliver Jesus into the hands of Judas.

That is exactly what happened in St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Palm Sunday as anti-Catholic pro-abortion pro same-sex marriage US Vice President Joe Biden strolled up the aisle and received the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ right under the nose and with full knowledge of Cardinal Timothy Dolan.

Cardinal Dolan who apparently never misses the opportunity to publicly associate himself with the rich and powerful of the world .. gave Biden a big shout out from the altar.

So much for following Pope Francis’s example of detaching from the rich and powerful and associating with the poor. There was no shout out for the homeless guy in the back bench.

Nor was there any respect whatsoever shown to the King of Kings who was allowed to be made a sacrilege of by this prince of the Church when he was delivered over into the hands of abortion loving Biden.

And it’s good in one way that this happened. The lines are finally being drawn publically and the quiet battle going on between bishops about giving Jesus Christ to murderous politicians is finally at last on show for the world to see.

What Cardinal Dolan did is a disgrace. Call this constant pandering Dolanism. There is no other way to say it.

Dolanism .. the subordination of the Catholic faith to the prevailing cultural mores.

And whatever the Dolan loving quasi-conservative establishment crowd in the Church wants to say simply cannot erase this. Call them the Dolanites.

The Dolanites who make their handsome livings on the catholic speaker circuit .. or on Catholic television and radio networks or writing books .. who have made part of their career defending and praising this man so they can continue their boot-looking and lap- dogging cannot possibly provide a defense for this. Not this time fellas. Not this time. You breathe one word in defense of his actions and you sacrifice ANYTHING you ever say about the pro-life cause again! Don’t show up at pro-life functions. Don’t write articles, give guest appearances .. appear on stage .. jump on the radio or television airwaves. Nothing.

What Dolan did is beyond disgusting and reprehensible. First .. as Cardinal Raymond Burke .. the top canonist in the entire global universal Catholic Church has said a million times .. people like Biden and Pelosi and that whole sorry crowd MUST BE DENIED holy communion. Period. Canon 915 is explicit and not open to re-interpretation: Can. 915 “Those .. who obstinately persist in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to holy communion.”

Dolan in New York and fellow Cardinal down the road in Washington DC Donald Wuerl do not have the right to disobey Canon Law. But that is precisely what they are doing – no matter how much spin and sides-stepping they do. Pray for them in earnest. They wont be able to side step Jesus Christ at the judgment seat.

But this Dolan worship by the establishment has gone beyond the pale. Many of them were openly cheering for him to become Pope. Heck .. even Pope Francis when he was still a cardinal in Argentina warned Catholic pro-abort politicians about not coming up to receive the body and blood of Jesus.

But let’s look at the growing record of Cardinal Dolan .. because this takes the lid right off.

In the summer of 2010 .. he sent shock waves around the United States and beyond by openly cheering a gay club that was introduced to him during Mass at the notorious St. Francis Xavier parish in New York .. a parish widely known for its no holds barred gay liturgies and functions.

Then a short while later .. he barley lifted a finger to fight .. or even speak out about gay marriage becoming law in New York.

After it passed he conveniently blamed the church’s advisors who he claimed had given him and his fellow NY bishops “bad advice”. Meanwhile .. somehow .. the entire rest of the country knew same-sex marriage was going to become law in New York.

Immediately following the midnight passage of same-sex marriage by the New York state legislature .. Dolan was mute from the pulpit the following Sunday .. saying nothing at all about it .. but did find time with the New York press crops after Mass to apologize to gays and lesbians whose feelings might have been hurt by the Church.

Dolanism .. the subordination of the Catholic faith to the prevailing cultural mores. He sat on a network news show on Thanksgiving two years ago and .. in reference to God and giving him thanks he said .. “he .. or she or whatever your belief is.”

Dolanism .. the subordination of the Catholic faith to the prevailing cultural mores. In April .. he told the Wall Street Journal that he and his fellow bishops did not preach what they should have preached about the Church’s sexual teachings because they were – his words now – gun shy. Based on the deafening lack of NOW issuing those teachings – apparently he still is.

Two years ago .. he stood in front of annual Knights of Columbus dinner in Denver and openly mocked the idea that there was a crisis in the Church. He was cheered loudly by the Dolanites.

Yep, No, no crisis here Your Eminence, right! As you close down Catholic schools by the dozens right in your own archdiocese.

Then there was the beyond the pale invitation of child-killer in chief Obama to the Al Smith dinner a couple of weeks before the presidential election where tens of thousands of Catholics all over America begged and pleaded with him to rescind the invitation and where he offered in his defense a comparison of his actions to Our Blessed Lord.

Dolanism .. the subordination of the Catholic faith to the prevailing cultural mores. And for the record for all the Dolanites out there .. Jesus ate with sinners .. not with Herod.

Then there is the history before his time in New York .. where he slapped on a cheesehead .. yep .. an NFL Green Bay Packer cheesehead at his installation Mass as archbishop of Milwaukee.

And then there is the incessant carrying on about joy and laughter .. well do forgive some of us Your Eminence if we find it hard to extricate the joy out of a situation where you are aiding in a sacrilege in your own cathedral.

And for the record .. there are many of who believe that Jesus Christ is not amused as you participate in the profaning of the body and blood of Our Lord.

And also for the record .. for those Dolanites who might wish to gamble their entire reputation on defending these spurious and disgusting actions by a prince of the Church .. and who might want to proffer the defense that he is just being “pastoral” .. consider this. It is a well known issue in the Archdiocese of New York that Cardinal Dolan has no qualms whatsoever about flexing his mighty ecclesiastical muscle in private against his priests who want to say the Traditional Latin Mass.

His well known and much feared .. but little talked-about-openly angry temper is vented with all its fury on such priests. They are threatened and brow beaten by him personally .. made to feel the lowest of the low .. all for offering the ancient Mass .. again in disobedience to the wishes of Pope Benedict.

His Eminence might be well served to vent that temper which is well known to New York Archdiocese insiders against fake Catholic politicians. But oh NO!

For them .. the red carpet .. shout outs from the sanctuary .. high fives all around and a sacrilege thrown in for good measure.

Who could seriously look at Cardinal Dolan and even entertain the thought that this man is serious about the Faith. He puts on a cheesehead during Mass. He defies canon law along with many of his brother bishops .. a majority of whom elected him to the head of their bishops’ conference.

He scandalizes the faithful by continued association with murderous politicians who in addition to spilling the blood of innocents have aimed their guns at the Church herself. He further scandalizes the faithful by aiding and abetting in sacrilege. What exactly does he not understand? How is any of this defensible by anyone in the Church?

Cardinal Dolan is quickly becoming the poster boy for all that is wrong with Church leadership these days – an almost wistful disregard for the solemnity of the Mass .. a refusal to buck the trends of a secularist culture not by filing lawsuits claiming infringement on legal rights .. but by announcing the EVIL of the object of the law itself. Dolanism .. the subordination of the Catholic faith to the prevailing cultural mores.

He is willing to back pedal and compromise and continually cede ground to the forces of darkness either because he is too cowardly to face them down or is suffering from a self- imposed delusion that this is a wining strategy.

He has been proposed by some self important establishment types in the Church .. the Dolanites .. as the model of a new style Catholicism. Puh-Leeze. There is nothing new about abandoning Christ for worldly applause.

If they are correct .. that this style is the new mode of evangelizing .. a so-called Evangelical Catholicism .. then God help the Church!

Dolanism is the product of decades of denial .. a refusal to step up and be men and leaders .. a forsaking of the masculine in favor of a highly feminized mindset among the clergy .. where the concentration is on feelings and holding hands instead of preaching the hard truths of the faith and being willing to die for them.

This is indefensible. Insiders in the New York chancery have told us privately they were shocked that Cardinal Dolan invited Obama to the Al Smith dinner .. especially when two of his predecessors had refused other pro-abortion leaders in the recent past.

And don’t forget very soon .. in a few months the openly lesbian and legally married Catholic politician Christine Quinn is .. in all likelihood going to be the next mayor of New York and she has already said very openly she will not be refused Holy Communion in the Catholic Church.

Given the recent scene in Sty. Patrick’s Cathedral .. there won’t be any show down between the LESBIAN Catholic mayor and the groveling Cardinal .. and we all know why.

God help the Catholic Church. We need to reflect on the words of St. John Eudes here ..

"The most evident mark of God's anger, and the most terrible castigation He can inflict upon the world, is manifest when He permits His people to fall into the hands of a clergy who are more in name than in deed, priests who practice the cruelty of ravening wolves rather than the charity and affection of devoted shepherds. They abandon the things of God to devote themselves to the things of the world and, in their saintly calling of holiness, they spend their time in profane and worldly pursuits. When God permits such things, it is a very positive proof that He is thoroughly angry with His people and is visiting His most dreadful wrath upon them."

This needs to be a very Holy Week indeed .. meaning penance, penance, penance .. from all of us on the behalf of our bishops. We need to beg our Father to lift this scourge from us.

GOD bless us and Love us, All
