Please pray for Cardinal Dolan, ping.
Prayers for him and prayers he reads this.
Yes. It’s a disgrace. God help him.
His eminence, a senior officer in the corporation, made an economic decision to enhance the bottom line of the oldest most profitable mutlinational corporation in the world. It not about the liturgy; it’s about the $$ for the RC church
Feel free to add to the List.
Dolan heads the US bishops because he equivocates about everything. He’s just what they wanted. Most of the bishops care about nothing but “immigration reform” meaning increased membership and collections. He’s a gas bag, a phony and a liar. The BS that “nobody’s perfect”; “pray for him” and “what about Peter?” is denial. Dolan is a heretic. The American “Catholic” church is schismatic.
I am greived to read this, and I pray that it is not true.
I watched The Caine Mutiny with Humphrey Bogart last night. In it, the primary accuser of Captain Quieg lost his nerve when crunch time came. That is how I see Dolan: a man without a pair. He may be a good man, but a man without courage is a man not to be trusted. Contrast that man with all the martyrs of the Church who refused submission to the Empire and emperor.
The Catholic Church is the largest charitable organization on the planet, bringing relief and comfort to those in need. Catholic Charities, Food for the Poor, Catholic Relief Services, St. Jude's, and America's Second Harvest alone total $5,570,000,000, which is greater than #1 on the list for America. With God‟s grace, we started hospitals to care for the sick and orphanages to serve the poor. We educate more children than any other scholarly or religious institution. We founded the college (university) system. We defend the dignity of all human life, and uphold marriage and family. Can your church make that claim?
We are living in the era of the greatest heresy since Arianism. Pope Pius X defined it as “Modernism” in his 1907 encyclical “Pascendi Dominici Gregis.” He said that it is the “synthesis of all heresies,” because it denies that God has revealed His will through Sacred Scripture and the Magisterium of the Church - and that it CAN be known. The famous statement, “Well, I don’t believe in abortion, but I would never impose my beliefs on anyone else” is a prime example of this heresy. It seems that Cardinal Dolan is also a prime example of someone who has fallen into this heresy, since by his actions he refuses to call sin what it is. The Ten Commandments are not the Ten Suggestions!
Arianism was eventually overcome by the Church and I know Modernism will be, too. But it took about 100 years to get rid of Arianism, so I would guess it will take the Church a long time to get rid of Modernism - especially since so many people haven’t even heard of it, much less know what it is.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
Cardinal Dolan is a disgrace, with one unlawful, unrighteous, un-Christian and unmanly act after another. He needs to be confronted and condemned to his face.
and have enough $$ to spare to hire 500$/hr attorneys on a regular basis to smear the reputations of victims of alcoholic pedophile priests.
As the nation’s leading Roman Catholic bishop, Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of New York has been spearheading the fight against a provision of the new health care law that requires employers, including some that are religiously affiliated, to cover birth control in employee health plans.
But even as Cardinal Dolan insists that requiring some religiously affiliated employers to pay for contraception services would be an unprecedented, and intolerable, government intrusion on religious liberty, the archdiocese he heads has quietly been paying for such coverage, albeit reluctantly and indirectly, for thousands of its unionized employees for over a decade.
The Archdiocese of New York has previously acknowledged that some local Catholic institutions offer health insurance plans that include contraceptive drugs to comply with state law; now, it is also acknowledging that the archdiocese’s own money is used to pay for a union health plan that covers contraception and even abortion for workers at its affiliated nursing homes and clinics.
“We provide the services under protest,” said Joseph Zwilling, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of New York.
It’s an old and well used list on FR and you’ve added in fine if not entirely original, form.
His “Eminence” may still be hoping the Romans won’t come and take away his very comfortable place and nation. Too bad about the aborted.
Ted Kennedy taught Catholics all of those things before Dolan did, and no one listened. That's why the lesson is being repeated.
I think elder bro. Jack beat Teddy to it.
Jack may have been a lib (and a cafeteria Catholic), but back then liberals weren't advocating homosexuality, abortion, and a world totalitarian state to "protect the planet." Even Bobby Kennedy died almost five years before Roe v. Wade and a year before "Stonewall."
“Lord, did we not....perform many powerful works in your name?”
