Moreover, as the Islamic scholar Robert Spencer explained, Ramadan is a season in which Islamic attacks against non-Muslims, including Catholics, increase every year.

“If the Ramadan imperative is to become more devout, the Muslim who applies himself diligently to the Ramadan observance will simultaneously become more both merciful to his fellow Muslims and more severe against the unbelievers,” he wrote.

“Murdering infidels thus doesn’t contradict the spirit of Ramadan; it embodies it,” he added.

Everything about His Eminence is fake.

They take moon god worship seriously. And here I thought Dolan was somewhat normal in a church full of of faggot heretics.

Dear Cardinal Dolan,
How about a message like this: “It is my prayer that Muslims will come to saving faith in Jesus Christ. No one comes to the Father except through Him.”

“That’s how seriously they take their fasting and prayer. Now, I tell you that to shame you because Ash Wednesday’s coming up, alright?”

I think His Eminence could stand to do some fasting.

Does that mean we get to defenestrate our infidels?

I have a feeling that this isn’t the worst that Cardinal Dolan has to offer.

Mathew 6:16 “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Very disappointed in this silly attempt to equate the Catholic Church with the Islamic gangsters.

Is the Cardinal dealing with a bit of dementia, if not he should brush up on Catholicism back at divinity school.

It is the Catholic bishops who should be ashamed — ashamed of the way they played down acts of piety since VII, ashamed of the way they failed to push back against the hedonistic popular culture, ashamed of their sodomizing of young boys and seminarians, ashamed of so much more.

They would do so much less harm if they just kept their mouths shut.

You are in denial. Last year alone thousands of faithful were killed in a stampede outside St. Pat’s. It was called the Wheelchair Massacre.
Or do I have my facts a bit confused? 🤔

when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face,

I'm sure that meant "look and act normal", back in those days ...

But I'm not going to oil my head. That would look gross.

My Geneva Bible version says anoint your head, so I’m guessing a little dab would do them
