Yeah...that’s it. Run from the fight. Jesus dined with sinners and took quite a bit of heat for it as well. And remember, Cardianl Dolan is in the midst of a lawsuit against the Pretender in Chief. He’s a big boy and will handle himself fine. In fact, I think Pres. Obama’s the one who should be rethinking his acceptance of the invitation.

.
The sinners he dined with all understood they were sinners. Most of them were just petty criminals and tax collectors. None of them seem to be murderers, child molesters and I doubt there were homosexuals among them.
Also consider who He took the heat from — not from the general populace but from a bunch of hypocrites who wanted to kill Him.
That's exactly what Dolan is doing by inviting BOTH of these candidates to the Al Smith Dinner.
Ms. Brown is right. It's one thing to "dine with sinners," but you can be damn sure that Jesus Christ didn't dine with any Pharisees or Sadducees who had openly rejected him.
Hey ahole! - no one's running from any fight but there's an old saying -
"Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas".
If 0bama hadn't openly attacked CHRISTIANS in general, and the Catholic Church in particular, Dolan would be [quietly] backing Hussein just like '08, so don't pretend that inviting him is an attempt to convert him. You don't invite the devil to your parties!
