They certainly seemed unbalanced and unhinged in some cases.

(At the time, I wrote that the move signaled Dolan had chosen sides with the GOP. Nothing he said last night seemed to suggest otherwise.) Under fire from fellow Catholics and others, and in an effort to appear nonpartisan, Dolan offered to perform the same function in Charlotte. While some observers have argued that Dolan was backed into a corner and working from a position of weakness he needed the Democrats to give him cover from the charges of partisanship the Democrats looked like the ones in the position of weakness. They couldnt, after all, say no.Is this chick so uninformed that she didn't know that it was Cardinal Dolan who offered to do the prayer at BOTH conventions, but only the Republicans, at first took him up on it? The Democrats refused, but gave in only after the MSM started asking why Dolan was going to one, but not the other.
If she can't be bothered to discover the facts about that one simple thing, then why should anyone bother to read anything else she writes?

Many, many religious people, including many dissenting Catholics, believe their faith supports marriage equality, supports access to reproductive healthcare, supports equal roles for women and LGBT people within the faith.If those dissenting Catholics believe their faith supports those things, why are they dissenting?
