Sad- i like Dolan, a lot...i’m sure this new Bishop will be a far leftists...
Dolan came here and immediately understood the the Cardinal Archbishop is an intrinsic part of this city. It was too bad he dealt with mayors like Bloomie and DiBlasio who for different reasons had no sense that religion has been and will continue to be part of the City, even as Catholics decrease in numbers. I always looked forward to his Midnight Mass. Now I have one more of his to watch. I suspect the new Cardinal will be Hispanic and as they are a dominant group in NYC Catholics that makes sense.
Also most do not realize the Archdiocese does not serve Brooklyn and Queens. The Diocese of Brooklyn tends to its own in a bit less ostentatious manner.
Well, my litmus test is the traditional Latin Mass... and this fellow Bp Ron Hicks has reportedly been good on that issue... the word is that he ignored Traditionis Custodes in his diocese and let the TLM communities continue “as is.” On that basis, I’ll take it.
