Dolan called the late John Cardinal O'Connor of New York, who was outspokenly pro-life, his "hero" - and acknowledged that his office calls for a "prophetic" voice, although he prefers using a persuasive tone when possible.

Thank you Pope Benedict XVI for the appointment of Dolan as Archbishop of New York!

He’s a relatively strong bishop. But he did invite Obama, along with McCain, to the annual Alfred E. Smith dinner.

I don’t know where you draw the line. But I wouldn’t feel comfortable having that extreme abortion supporter at a Catholic dinner.

Good, Cardinal O’Connor didn’t allow it either.

"So I get frustrated sometimes, when that's interpreted as being 'anti-gay,' that's where we kinda cringe," he continued, "because believe it or not, we get attacked from the other extreme for defending the rights of gays and for the strong Church teaching that every single human being ... is a child of God, deserving of dignity and respect."

Well said, Archbishop Dolan! The Church teaches us to love the sinner, but hate the sin. 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.

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.
