Ping!
Dolan reminds me of a corrupt pre-reformation cardinal, like a Borgia.
Unfortunately the Catholic Church cannot be all things to all people or pretend that evil does not exist. When it acquiesces to public sinful homosexual expression and behavior, allows Catholic public officials to support abortion and not be excommunicated, it loses more than credibility. The Church hierarchy has the sacred duty to speak truth to power however unpopular their criticism may be and the initial reaction of the laity. When “Catholic” universities hire heretics, teach immorality and celebrate decadence, the bishops have a historical responsibility to intervene. Sadly Cardinal Dolan has not demonstrated the type of courage and moral fervor one would expect or historically has been seen in a Catholic leader.
Hmmm. I’m a little tired but I need a translator for this “fun” article.
I’m half Irish and I don’t find this article to be even slightly amusing. Imho, it is disgusting.
“Turning”?
Ann Barnhardt’s been metaphorically eviscerating him on a regular basis for quite some time.
It looks like Bill Donohue really twisted himself into a pretzel this time! :-)
(He does seem to be verbally squirming right now.)
Another FReeper (Berlin_Freeper) posted a link in another thread which I thought was vividly instructive concerning Cardinal "Bravo" Dolan, and I pointed to it in a couple threads already, and thought it may be useful to some if I posted that link here as well (for any who missed it), so here it is:
"BREAKING: NYC St. Patricks Day Parade Goes Gay - Dolan Cheers!"
"EWTN" and "Teresa Tomeo" continue to feature Cardinal Dolan in various shows and discussions, as if he is a great spiritual light of the Church, and I've decided to let them (and others) know that I cannot continue to support them if they continue to support a Cardinal who supports (among other things) pro-mortal-sin-advocates in a Catholic Saint parade.
Like this article touched on, when you think about it, which of the following perverted mortal-sin-advocates groups and their slightly reworded placards and t-shirts would Dolan seek to exclude from the Saint Patrick's Day Parade (if any)?
