Stop the Timothy Dolan as the next pope talk. Please. Dolan is a fraud, an intellectual lightweight and basically the John Edwards of the episcopacy. In other words, he is a total phony, and anyone with a brain knows it within a matter of nanoseconds of the guy opening his mouth.May I be permitted to make a physics analogy? If Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) is the analogue of Einstein, to complete the physics analogy, Dolan would be Britney Spears. Or perhaps the lint from Britney Spears' dryer. As proof, here is Dolan at the rededication of St. Francis Xavier parish in Manhattan. This is the "gay parish", run by sodomite Jesuits (but I repeat myself ...) who celebrate and encourage sodomy, celebrate and encourage the practice of Buddhism AND witchcraft IN THE PARISH and IN THE MASSES there held. When I first posted this clip, a reader who lives right around the corner from St. Francis Xavier parish in Manhattan emailed me and said that during the so-called "prayers of the faithful", the congregation is directed to turn to the four directions, and that this is done as an open, explicit bow to the LESBIAN WICCA contingent in the parish.
Dolan is a cretin, a heretic and is on the path to hell himself for his politicking, which is nothing more than throwing the sheep to the wolves so that he can get invited to parties with politicians and celebs and fancy himself a "cool guy". Dolan is the kind of guy who will tell you what you want to hear with enormous faux-earnestness, and then ten seconds later tell the next person exactly the opposite with exactly the same level of faux-earnestness. His rehearsed faux-sincerity fools some people, sadly, but not everyone.
My favorite Dolanism is the ponderously-chewing-on-the-glasses move, which he must have spent many an hour rehearsing in the mirror. He does it at the 5:30 mark while the ACTIVE SODOMITE CLUB is introduced and cheered in the middle of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick.
