I watched the Michael Vooris video at pewsitter.com about the NYC parish and Archbishop Dolan.
Based on my observation of his behavior as archbishop in Milwaukee, I consider Dolan an orthodox pastor. For example, there was a woman in the diocese who was involved in the whole woman ordination nonsense. Dolan corresponded with her, privately, for some time before she went ahead with the “ordination.” At that point he told her that she was excommunicated and referred her situation to the proper authority in Rome.
His style is not confrontational and many here wished he would have done more to expunge the Weakland legacy. But his concern is foremost for the souls of the sinners.
Based upon his appearance on Father Groschel’s EWTN show, in which Courage was openly discussed and lauded by both Dolan and Groschel, I think Vooris may be hasty. I would give the Archbishop some time to win over to orthodoxy as many as possible in a very tough situation.
And certainly to call Dolan a coward and a hypocrite is a most uncharitable reaction. He’s been in NYC about one year. He has taken on the secularists strongly. Give him some time to deal with the heterodox, even if you would personally use different tactics.
Dolan is also the man who did absolutely nothing to silence the many Milwaukee priests who publicly opposed the Wisconsin Marriage Amendment. He is a coward and a hypocrite. I thought only leftists used the “uncharitable” accusation when they didn’t want to hear the truth.
