This week, Cardinal Timothy Dolan took to the New York Daily News to write an incoherent and defamatory political hit piece against Donald Trump.
As a Catholic priest, I can only say it is embarrassing to have a Cardinal so blatantly and unfairly trying to associate Mr. Trump with the worst kinds of racism imaginable. I offer an apology on behalf of so many Catholics who are outraged by the dirty politics of Cardinal Dolan.
Ever so “cleverly,” Dolan makes clear that in his opinion Trump is the revival of nativism, “an organized, white, Protestant antagonism towards the Catholic immigrant,” which for Dolan is just a more recent incarnation of the KKK and other racist organizations–an absurd claim–and perhaps one of the most ignorant statements and mean-spirited remarks I have ever seen a bishop state publicly. The more than clear implication by Dolan that Trump is a white supremacist reaches levels of defamation that even the most liberal media has not dare trod.
Dolan should perhaps realize that the continued race bating in this country by President Obama and others is immoral and destructive to the social fabric of our nation. For Dolan to join the base ranks of the peddlers of hate, dividing Catholics and Protestants, blacks and white, the poor and the rich as well as Americans from immigrants is intellectually dishonest. Dolan’s words are unbecoming of a bishop and are not factual.

Wow, Father Guarnizo nails it! Race baiting Father Dolan should be ashamed!
Catholic church is led by the Marxist pope.
This “Pope” is just another political puppet
the catholic church does not serve its members or Jesus, it serves its fatten self image. It itself is now one of the seven deadly sins, Pride.
You would think he’d write about Planned Parenthood and the selling of
baby body parts.
Oh.
The Illegals are all supposed to be CATHOLICS.
Well, it’s gotta be all right then.
This saddens me beyond belief. Here I am trying to turn my kids back towards the church as I’m being driven away from the Pope and my Cardinal with their liberal world view. I still believe, but not in its leadership. Sad.
That is about the healthiest Catholic attitude you can have actually!
We have had bad popes and bishops and we will have them again. They are all subservient to Christ anyway....stick with Him and don't fret about the middle management.
And tell your kids what we Italian folk have been telling ours from time immemorial:
"Do what the priest says, not what the priest does."
Dolan is violating separation of church and state.

If you’re fed up with the “wet finger in the wind” flip-flopping hacks and looking for consistency in a candidate who loves this country, check out this 3 minute video from 27 YEARS AGO! Seems that Donald — like most of the rest of us — understands that things have become so bad that he HAD to go for it!
TAKE THAT, ESTABLISHMENT GOP!!

Didn't a majority of Catholics (including priests) side with Arius during the Arian Heresy? Unfortunately many of our clergy, by their defense of and collaboration with democrats and marxists, seem to have also chosen the wide gate.
Absolutely a must watch video in my opinion. Thanks.
Tough dealing with a church that spends all its time criticizing on other than its major philosophy. Why are they not all over the Planned Parenthood situation since they are all about against abortion?
Just currying favor with the Establishment in NY.
The hypocrites in the temple are tough to follow.
When did Cardinal timothy Dolan make this statement? This Week?
Sigh! This Catholic is so missing Cardinal Michael O’Connor. When will we get back to good leadership again? I feel very old, harking back to the days of Reagan, Thatcher and JP II - plus Michael O’Connor.
Father Marcel writes extensively on and works with ferocious dedication on protecting the lives of unborn babies. Some of his passionate speeches are available on YouTube, if you're interested. His work has brought him into real danger from the forces of evil. I can send you some of his articles, if you like.
The problem is the Temple is filled with non-believers whose true goal is to destroy Christianity.
