Folks find that hard to understand, but the Archbishop has it right that the Church should stand fast against sinful behavior, but always invite repentance on the part of the sinner. Folks had a hard time understanding that concept when it came straight from Jesus, in person! I think it's because many people don't like the idea that we are *all* sinners in need of repentance. It's easier to pretend that only those who do what we personally find distasteful are sinners, while we, personally, are just fine thank you.

I heard Abp. Dolan preach at St. Patrick's last Sunday - about Satan's temptations of Christ - very impressive.
By the time a man rises to a major see, the expectation is that he will get along with those he sees as his peers - mayors, governors, law firm partners, etc.
Most of them do. Some, however, like Dolan, are disciples.
You can always tell the difference, usually right away.

But occasions might call that I'll have to be prophetic. I'm sure there's gonna be times ... that I'm gonna have to be a bit of a pitbull. In general, I like to be an Irish Setter." You keep saying things like this, Your Excellency. Remember the "mother bear" comment?
Sure hope you mean it, 'cause as of this writing, I'm not a buyer.

Hes a relatively strong bishop. But he did invite Obama, along with McCain, to the annual Alfred E. Smith dinner. http://primebuzz.kcstar.com/?q=node/15091 I dont know where you draw the line. But I wouldnt feel comfortable having that extreme abortion supporter at a Catholic dinner. So did Cardinal Egan.
Anyway, he's also repeated the mantra that "we've wanted healtcare forever" -- meaning universal healthcare, that is. At least, it was printed with quotes around it in an article about him in, I think, Catholic New York.
I do have a visceral reservation about this guy. Maybe because my nemesis was a fat irish guy who happened to be my father-in-law at one time.
But maybe it's just because I'm waiting to see more than a big jovial smiling face saying all the right things.
