Sorry but it appears you are in error. viz According to Dolan, Catholics and guns don`t mix. [Some Americans are Catholic] Ain`t the ex-pope Catholic ?

It is hypocrisy for Dolan to agree with Cuominitsa and Obummer and yet want popes to be protected by Uzi`s- We have the same rights as the Pope to defend ourselves- If the POPE has Uzi`s we should too. We are all equal under the law and under God. Debate that ontological premise in your ear.

New York City, N.Y., Feb 20, 2013 / 02:00 am (CNA).- Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of New York highlighted President Barack Obama's “call for sensible steps on gun control,” noting that it is an area of agreement for the two leaders. “I found myself nodding in agreement when the President said, '...Overwhelming majorities of Americans – Americans who believe in the Second Amendment – have come together around common-sense reform, like background checks that will make it harder for criminals to get their hands on a gun,'” the cardinal said.

In a Feb. 15 post on his blog, “The Gospel in the Digital Age,” he explained that he was “very much in favor” of legislation passed by New York last month that constituted “the most comprehensive gun control bill in the country.”

Imagine if Dolan is elected Pope- now we would have a gun-control pope protected by machine guns who would not allow his sheep the same to defend themselves against the tyrants he supports.

- This is the ultimate hypocrisy.

This is what I said:

And every US former President gets Secret Service protection after he leaves office, etc. Take a break.

How you got the diatribe:
