I must say, as much as I favor civility, I could not invite that Marxist Maggot to such a dinner. You may call me intolerant, call me uncharitable, or even call me unchristian - as far as I'm concerned he is the veritable spawn of Satan, and is inflicting critical damage upon my Church, not to mention my Nation. I pray daily for our ultimate deliverance from the depradations of this consummate malefactor.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[NYer]

I understand perfectly. That is why I posted the option of signing a petition to disinvite him in my #2 comment.

In multiple FR postings of this same event, too many FReepers are using reflexive rash judgment rather than common sense.

• Dolan already correctly rejected Obama's HHS regs as "straitjacketing," "handcuffing," and "strangling" the Catholic Church.

• Dolan already publically repudiated Obama's so-called accommodations and pledges of "freedom of conscience" as falsehoods.

• Dolan is suing the Obama administration in Federal court, 'for Christ's sake'

Here are the possibilites. Please think about which is most likely:

(1) Dolan's brain has inexplicably turned to bathwater, he has forgotten everything he learned in past 45 months, and is toddling up to smooch the man who lied to him in public.

(2) Cardinal Dolan has, without cause or motivation, morphed into baby-sacrificing Orc.

Or:

(3) Dolan knows Obama is too much a narcissist to turn down a ("historic!") dinner invitation, and is luring him in to the most media-heavy charity event in the Media Capital of the World --- TWO WEEKS before Election Day---- to expose him as the most deadly threat to the Church in U.S. history.

Who's the pawn on this chess board? And who's the bishop?

Think, think...

If you still have serious misgivings, please take them straight to the padre:
