Cardinal Dolan's Benediction, in my view, was a concise, Christian, and heroic response to the unholy spectacle of the last three days. He walked into the Lion's Den, spoke Truth to power, and bore Witness to the Truth of God. His doing so gives me renewed Faith in the survival of the Church in the face of increasing hostility from large segments of our society.

Lovely prayer, but the Good Cardinal clearly exceeded the allowed number of times mentioning GOD at a democRATic convention.

:) Cardinal Dolan prayed a spiritual exorcism-type prayer over the DNC convention. LOL Thank you

Pearls. Swine. You know the rest.

I wonder what the dimocrats did when he prayed:
**including Governor Mitt Romney and Congressman Paul Ryan, who seek to serve the common good by seeking public office.**

The most important speech of the convention was Cardinal Dolan’s benediction.

Strengthen our sick and our elders waiting to see your holy face at life’s end, that they may be accompanied by true compassion and cherished with the dignity due those who are infirm and fragile.Can you say "death panels"? Nice slam on Obamacare, Cardinal Dolan!

That was a beautiful prayer...and terribly politically incorrect within the DNC. He said the name of Jesus out loud! Wonder if there were any boos?
