too funny. as if a socialist catholic bishop is rare.
At best. What is the good bishop up to? The Democratic machine in Washington plays for keeps. Has he taken on too much here? Does he think that he can run with the Democratic dogs?
Perhaps it's someone like you that gives the socialist a pass and empowers them by weakness of argument of hiding behind a screename on free Republic ? Yet, you CRITICIZE someone like Cardinal Dolan who would deal with an enemy face to face like Our Blessed Lord did with the devil and with Pontius Pilate
It's obvious who is the weak in faith ,dear friend,...and it's not Cardinal Dolan, which leaves you know who
It's hard to see FReeper Catholics support Dolan's invitation -- do they not see the danger, the inherent conflict in what such a thing represents?
I wonder if it would be better to suspend the whole Al Smith dinner altogether, than to come to this sort of "compromise."
If he holds the line, as I believe he will, good move.
The Church can’t be engaged in the life of the country as she opposed the mandate but not engaged when an opportunity to maintain a civil tone comes up. It will show that our position is rooted in reason rather than instinct.
Oh, I don't think Cardinal Dolan is under any delusions about Obama's veracity. He knows now EXACTLY what he's dealing with.
Yeah, I’m gonna trust Dolan on this one. I’m glad he’s where he is right now and I’m not inclined to second guess...
I agree with you. This invitation is a disgrace.
my good judgment is evidence enough for me

Lol! WHERE is the evidence of your *good* judgment?
You’re right about one thing mr assissi: my faith in cardinal Dolan is nowhere near as strong as yours.
Psychological projection?
;-o
It was wrong to label Cardinal Dolan as a socialist because he is meeting with a socialist.
Do you consider Ronald Reagan a communist because he met with Chinese President Li Xiannian? Hopefully you see the error of your labeling since you offered nothing other than unsubstantial rhetoric
The fact that Obama was invited is an advantage for the Obama campaign.
As I said, if there were a sworn statement, you'd deny it. And furthermore, an opinion is not the sort of thing for which a reasonable person demands "evidence" -- though I have given it, because it's so explicit. You could go read his blog for yourself.
And, yes, I've learned to trust my judgment, and hero-worship doesn't suit me, but you're on your own.
Perhaps the invitation is for the purpose of an Exorcism to drive out demons and evil spirits from our government.
The topic is *evidence?* Incredible...
I see that you can still offer nothing but a repetitive lack of substantiation.
I am furious at the Catholic Church ( myself a Catholic) for not following up and messaging harder about the perils of the HHS mandate. The Church remains in the hands of men and certainly, as someone suggested above, Dolan - who initially messaged hard against BHO, has fallen asleep over the last several months. Something tells me Dolan has been given the same ‘compromise’ that was given to Justice Roberts.
