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.

Matthew
Chapter 9
- 10
- While he was at table in his house, 7 many tax collectors and sinners came and sat with Jesus and his disciples.
- 11
- The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher 8 eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
- 12
- He heard this and said, "Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. 9
- 13
- Go and learn the meaning of the words, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' 10 I did not come to call the righteous but sinners."

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.
