Dolan should resign if he is going to stay silent and let Cuomo kill babies.

One wonders how the Apostles would have dealt with a Church-member who advocated for laws encouraging adultery, infanticide, or homosexuality.

According to scripture, you’d meet privately to allow the person to “save face”.

If that didn’t work, then you would not allow the person to affiliate with your church-community. Hence the justification for excommunication. The notion that people “excommunicate” themselves is a lame attempt to pass a leadership responsibility to a the individual...it’s cowardice.

I didn’t leave the church, it left me.

The “Far-right”?

Is it “Far-right” to not want babies murdered? Can’t he see this is what late term (up to birth) abortions do?

Dolan’s not a priest, he’s a politician.

Well, we know where he stands; with the Left and the Prince of Lies.

As Jesus said, better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and then flung into the sea.

Bishop Sheen would have, “Cardinal” Dolan.

Shame on you.

“Excommunication should not be used as a weapon,” Dolan argues

No, but it should be used as a way to get heretics out of the Church.

Dolan is pulling a James Comey. He published an OpEd talking about how terrible, insulting, immoral it all is. Then he says in essence “but no reasonable cleric would excommunicateor do anything, really.”

I never thought of that.

If Dolan is a boy-buggerer, or has covered up for any, then he is a criminal under the law.

Perhaps Cuomo knows and has that hanging over Dolan’s head.

In either case, Dolan needs to confess his sins, repent, resign his position, and then turn himself over to law enforcement.

These catholic leaders are like deamoncrats, there’s nothing too disgusting for them to take a real stand. Of course they don’t exactly have a decent track record for protecting children anyway.

“This is no church, and these men are not of God.”

Exactly-—they are politicians dressed in clerical garb.

Cuomo has effectively excommunicated himself. What we need at this point is a parishioner at whatever church he attends to film Cuomo receiving the Eucharist, and then posting it on line.

I’m with you. Dolen is a failure as well as the Pope. Our Church has an unused convent where they are housing illegals, for their further trip to who knows where. I’ve stoped all giving to the Diocese.

“Demons, all.
This is no church, and these men are not of God.”

Yup, they’re just men. ...and to think we held these people in such high esteem throughout most of our lives. Ugh!

Excommunication should not be used as a weapon

How about Inquisition 2.0? That is what the left is planning.

Why do you think so many Catholics continue to vote for evil people like Cuomo?

I’d bet Cuomo will get as many, or more, Catholic votes next election.

That isn’t the “p” word I would have chosen, but okay.

I would have gone with “pedophiles”.

So many?

Trump Elected President, Thanks to 4 in 5 White Evangelicals

The article also mentions the Catholic vote, Quote:

Exit polls also indicated that Trump swung the Catholic vote back to the GOP by a 52 percent to 45 percent margin, after a majority of Catholics sided with Obama in the previous two elections.

Yes, ma’am. You are correct.
