Does Dolan really believe that we are called by God to make absolutely NO moral judgements whatsoever about human behavior? Really? So we can’t judge murder? We can’t judge rape? We can’t judge theft? ”Judge not lest ye be judged” is God Almighty abolishing the very notion of sin and demanding total anarchy? REALLY?

Seems to be the post-modern approach of Dolan and Pope Francis. God gave us standards, He had them written down. We are not to judge others based on 'our righteousness' but we are to present God's Law as part of Gospel preaching in order to expose the sinner as (in daniel1212's tag line) damned+destitute. Our job is to do what Jesus Christ did in Luke 18 where he confronts the rich young man with the Law and after showing the man he was not worthy according to the Law, that only with God are all things possible. The first element of Gospel preaching is to bring folks up the rocky path of Mt Sinai and then, only then once they realize they are lacking according to God's Law, we present the deliverance of Mt Zion (Christ's death and resurrection).
