Timothy Cardinal Dolan of NY is scheduled to offer the benediction at the close of the Republican National Convention in Tampa next week. In apophetic form, he announced that it was just to be viewed as a prayer, not necessarily a political endorsement. He then announced that he would be pleased to perform the same service for the Democrats, which would be awkward since he is currently suing the Democrats.
I love Cardinal Dolan.
It’s unfortunate however that Dolan invited Obama to the Al Smith dinner.
