I came here and was so happy to be in a country where we could speak and act freely. But that’s changed now.

Savage is right - it’s a mental disorder.

Pope Francis told the young people in Brazil for 2013 World Youth Day to “raise a ruckus.” Well, here’s something to raise a ruckus about.

Perhaps he was mistranslated.

(As I write, though, it’s over forty-eight hours since Cuomo spoke and there’s no response from Cardinal Dolan or the New York archdiocese.)

= = = =

This remains the topic of conversation at our house tonight and we reside in Mississippi.

DrO is not surprised, but we are both continuing to pray.

Those bishops are more democrat politicians than RC BISHOPS!

They sold their souls and our constitutional protections all so that they could redistribute the rich peoples' money.

Their idol was and continues to be "charity".

Pathological altruists who believe the root of all good is helping others.

They are so blinded by their desire to "help" they cannot even see how they defied the first commandment.

” I don’t know if there are protesters outside Cuomo’s residence this week, but there damn well ought to be.”

24 hours a day.

‘A Latvian woman was at my home this weekend and teared up when she learned of NY Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Friday outburst that there’s “no place” in his state for pro-lifers and supporters of traditional marriage: “It reminds me of what I experienced under Communism back home, when we weren’t allowed to talk about religion in public. I came here and was so happy to be in a country where we could speak and act freely. But that’s changed now.”’

Sad but true. This Latvian woman is completely correct.

Methinks Dolan trembles.

I have a suspicion this is going to be a big deal for Cardinal Dolan. He is apt to do a couple of things; 1) Call in an inner circle for consultation; 2) Call Coumo directly, seeking a back peddle of the ugly remark as one way out.

Dolan has an a laity to defend from this open air verbal assault, and the faith to defend, and certainly his own intellegence to defend. The wiggle room for Dolan on this one is much narrower this time, from the typically broad girth allowed the Cardinal in the usual circumstances of Liberal trash talk, where Cardinal Dolan can better maneuver.

This may be a seminal moment, or another dodge, but time is speaking volumes in favor of critical mass.

Yikes.

Does the priest at the church Cuomo attends with his live-in girlfriend (Sandra Lee) still allow them to take communion? Has his bishop had a heart-to-heart with him recently? If not, why not? Why is it so many liberal, pro-gay, pro-abortion politicians are Roman Catholic? When is something or someone going to stand up to them? I'm not a Catholic but I do agree with them on these issues. It is disheartening to see these people constantly thumbing their collective noses at their church's teachings and NOTHING ever gets done about them. I know it has to be even more frustrating to Catholic Freepers.

The right is always told to remain civil while the left raises a ruckus. Not only a ruckus, but every vile act one could conceive! I don’t say that we should join them, but to be silent is not working!

It is hard for me to judge Cardinal Dolan on why he has not spoken out about Cuomo’s idiotic remarks, but I certainly hope he says something.....soon. If not, he does a great disservice to God and good people everywhere.

State residents scared, in despair...

Unfortunately, many wonderful NYers will take this dirtbag seriously.
