What does Dolan have to say? I notice he's not jumping on the "must refuse" bandwagon.
I noticed that too.
First off, he hasn't been ASKED about it (and he's likely very happy...) by anyone in the local "press."
But I emailed him the article at the thread-head, as well as the various other items (Bend, OR.), Sherman, Burke, etc. just in case he doesn't read the papers.
And someday I will see him and in my typical smooth and suave manner ask: "Hey, Bish--when you gonna whack off those diseased members of the Body, hey?"
I'm hoping many of these bishops are first trying to meet with the pro-abort pols, before refusing them. Ratzinger's letter called for instruction first, then denial.
