Boycott the parade, ping!

[GraceG]

from what I have gleaned about Dolan had he picked a different profession he would be marching in the poorly/barely dressed section of the parade...

[CedarDave]

Expect other “Gay Pride” groups joining the march - probably have men dressed as nuns in green habits and others wearing nothing but a jockstrap. Women nearly naked except green paint covering their privates. Hope it snows...

All things considered, why doesn’t the Pope cancel the St. Patrick’s Parade?

[Labyrinthos]

Its all about the money — no more, no less. I assume that if NBC pulls the plug and no one else picks up the parade, then the organizers lose hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not more.

Guinness is another example. It pulled out of the parade last year not because of some deep support for homo rights, but out of fear that it would lose sales in homo markets. If Guinness really has a legitimate pro-homo agenda, then it would have pulled out of countries in Africa and Southeast Asia where homosexuality is punishable by inprisonment, torture, and death.

NBC, the long-time broadcast home of the St. Patrick’s Day parade, was prepared to drop its coverage unless a compromise that resulted in the inclusion of a gay group was brokered.

Perhaps this a case of follow the money. Who gets paid by NBC to cover the parade?

[Ray76]

End the parade.

Wonder which Pope elevated Dolan to cardinal status.

Drunkenness is also a sin and that’s what St. Patrick’s Day Parade is used for, an excuse to get drunk.

Shouldn’t be surprised it led to this.

[Arthur McGowan]

As sinful and scandalous as this development is, it pales in comparison with Dolan’s insistence on giving Communion to baby-murderers. Dolan gave a “shout-out” to Joe Biden at Mass in St. Patrick’s just months ago.

I eagerly await the photos showing Dolan as Grand Marshal, followed by naked men and women. I hope the gay group is that stupid. Erin Go Bra-less!

[excalibur21]

Dolan certainly could take a lesson on how to not knuckle under from this man. I guess it all depends on one’s level of faith.

I think it’d be useful and save a lot of trouble if every bishop had at least one friend and/or colleague whom he could trust to say “this is a really bad idea, boss”. Cardinal Mahony needed one, and I’m really, really starting to think Cardinal Dolan needs one, stat.

All,

It seems to me that a lot of us are having “knee-jerk” reactions to this news (parade and the cause for Bishop Sheen). There is much judging of the character of people ...without fully knowing all of the circumstances.

Let us pray for God’s will to prevail and then beg God to make us all holy people of virtue....who really trust HIM...no matter what happens.
