He was a conservative on morals, that is probably why. I felt the same way.
Plus he had a penchant for style:)

Really, what more is there to say? Anyone with a brain knew years ago that Timothy Dolan was a craven, politicking imbecile. Presiding at the “gay” Mass at St. Francis Xavier parish in Manhattan and CHEERING the unrepentant sodomite club introduced at said Mass – yeah – that was a SUBTLE CLUE. Inviting antichrist forerunner Obama to the Al Smith dinner and slapping his back while wearing a perpetual ****-eating grin the whole time was another SUBTLE CLUE. But now, ol’ Tracksuit Timmy has officially jumped the shark, and let’s not sugarcoat this, Pope Francis Bergoglio is driving the tow boat. From this morning’s pre-recorded appearance on Meet the Press:
Michael Sam, from your home state, the football player, revealed that he was gay, first in the NFL,” David Gregory said. “And you saw the celebration from the president, the first lady, and they were saying what a courageous step that was. How did you view it?”
“Good for him,” Dolan replied. “I would have no sense of judgment on him. God bless ya. I don’t think, look, the same Bible that tells us, that teaches us, well about the virtues of chastity and the virtue of fidelity and marriage also tells us not to judge people. So I would say, ‘Bravo.’”
“Bravo” to sodomy. Bravo to one man jamming his erect penis into the feces-laden descending colon of another man, and then using the descending colon as the point of masturbatory friction. ”Bravo” to one of the four sins that cry out to heaven for God’s vengeance. ”Bravo” to self-loathing. ”Bravo” to using another human being as a mere masturbatory vector. ”Bravo” to a sin so heinous, so foul, so disgusting that Our Blessed Lord Himself told St. Catherine of Siena that it makes Him NAUSEOUS and that even the demons withdraw from it because it is so sick and twisted that their angelic natures – demonic as they are – cannot stand to look upon it or be near it. ”Bravo” to that. ”Bravo” to mortal sin, which if never repented of WILL CONDEMN A PERSON TO ETERNAL DAMNATION. ”Bravo” to that, says Dolan, who couldn’t give any less of a shit about this Michael Sam kid, and is perfectly willing to not only watch this poor kid go to hell, but will even relish in Michael Sam’s sin in order to leverage his (Dolan’s) own personal worldly popularity. There simply aren’t words. The craven connivance is beyond description.
And WHY does Dolan finally feel free to show the callous indifference to not just human souls but also to the Sacred Heart of Our Blessed Lord that it is crystal clear he has felt for a long time? Why is does Dolan now feel fully liberated to ratify sodomy and increase his own worldly popularity by his complete indifference to sin, manifested in this sick permissiveness of objective evil? Because Pope Francis has thrown open the barn door. Dolan – like the Advocate magazine and every other tool and mouthpiece for satan on the planet – quotes Pope Francis Bergoglio specifically: Who am I to judge?
Besides a priest and bishop charged with the spiritual well-being of his flock? Besides a rational human being?
Does Dolan really believe that we are called by God to make absolutely NO moral judgements whatsoever about human behavior? Really? So we can’t judge murder? We can’t judge rape? We can’t judge theft? ”Judge not lest ye be judged” is God Almighty abolishing the very notion of sin and demanding total anarchy? REALLY?
The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom: and his tongue shall speak judgment. The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be supplanted. Psalm 36: 30-31
But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined. But the spiritual man judgeth all things; and he himself is judged of no man. 1 Corinthians 2: 14-15
(Footnote: The sensual man: The sensual man is either he who is taken up with sensual pleasures, with carnal and worldly affections; or he who measureth divine mysteries by natural reason, sense, and human wisdom only. Now such a man has little or no notion of the things of God.)
But beyond that obvious imbecility, Dolan has now taken it a step further – he HAS in fact JUDGED the sin of sodomy, and has JUDGED it positively. ”Bravo” means “good”. ”Good for him” means GOOD. FOR. HIM. But Dolan isn’t smart enough to recognize the internal contradiction in saying “Bravo” - which is the Italian word for “good” in the sense of “well done” – and in literally the same breath saying “Who am I to judge?” You just DID judge, you jackass.
For the sodomites, and ultimately their father satan, mere toleration was never, ever the goal. The goal is full ratification and publicly-stated approval, followed by the outlawing of non-ratification and/or non-participation. Dolan has now explicitly and undeniably ratified sodomy with the words “Bravo” and “Good for him.” And why did he do it? Because he saw the wild mainstream popularity of Pope Francis and he wants in on it too. Let’s quit dancing around the reality of the situation. Pope Francis is popular for one reason and one reason only: his moral laxity, permissiveness, moral relativism and compulsive downplaying of the gravity of sin. Duh.
We are clearly now in the extreme end-stages of this culture. It is now “illegal” to not participate in the cult of child sacrifice, and it is likewise also almost completely illegal to not participate in or service the cult of sodomy – and jackasses like Dolan will be in position, squarely behind the people, continuing to place his foot firmly in the smalls of their backs and pushing them straight into hell, quoting Pope Francis Bergoglio all the way. The staggering, unquantifiable damage that Pope Francis Bergoglio has done and continues to do is utterly unprecedented. Pope Francis’ litany of active statements of permissiveness makes the mere silence of Paul VI seem like “the good old days”. Heck, at least Paul VI had Humanae Vitae. Er, or should that be “at most”? Either way, the poop well and truly does roll downhill.

Sweet Jesus, please do absolutely whatever it takes – WHATEVER IT TAKES – to make this stop. We know we deserve not only this, but so much worse. We know it will hurt – badly. But we know that you have and will provide us with the tools and strength we need to weather the storm. We have the Church, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and You Yourself in the Eucharist. We have Your Mother as our mother and advocate, and her Most Holy Rosary to keep us focused and mindful of Your life, death and resurrection every day, as well as all of your Holy Saints and Angels. But please, for the sake of your Sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us, and on the whole world. Show us Your Mercy by showing us Your Justice. PLEASE MAKE THIS STOP.
But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh. And if thy hand, or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. Matthew 18: 6-10

Dolan was appointed by BXVI. That said, Dolan actually had a reputation for orthodoxy before he got to NY, although he was always probably more Dem than Catholic.
It could be that he thinks his stupid responses are what the Pope wants, although I honestly don’t think that’s the case. But it certainly saves Dolan any effort. He can go out and schmooze with the gays, drape his arm around Cuomo or De Blasio, and feel he’s just the coolest bishop in the universe.
I am not a Roman Catholic and even I miss Benedict XVI.
This author’s language is atrocious. Why even post it?
Definitely not Christian language at all.
Brilliant piece. Dolan is truly vile, and Francis is not much better. The Vatican is laying the seeds of destruction, and Francis’ nauseating deference to Muslims makes clear who will be the victors in the end.
You and I agree on this. Horrid language.
I won’t even read past the first sentence.
**The coarse language is unfortunate, but necessary. **
Language like this is never necessary.
That’s part of her charm.
Gives you a good excuse to ignore Barnhardt's message.
That which would be used to subsidize depravity and abomination does not "belong to Caesar".
it depends on the people.
for example, no apostle after Jesus’ death was corrupt. Peter wasn’t CORRUPT he was stupid concerning putting the law back in for the gentiles but Paul straightened him out.
Even if it’s atrocious that doesn’t mean it’s inaccurate.
Would you prefer she stuck to the “Will and Grace” characterization of male homosexuals?
I agree this article is very graphic and I made the mistake of viewing it while having lunch...Well lunch over.
I have to say the author is making a point and one that many forget...the ‘act’ of sodomy is an abomination to God and God says so in Scriptures. We are constantly fed by the MSM videos of “loving” gay “couples” hand holding and getting “married.” There is an absence of the ‘real deal’ to the ‘practices’ and behaviors. The author clearly points this out as did Phil Robertson a few months ago.
I suggest he run and read Luke 16.
There’s nothing new under the sun. A reading of Numbers re: Korah, Dathan and Abiram and a perusal of Balaam may be in order as well.
As is said in Psalms...
Let another take his office.
But hey, we wouldn’t expect Satan to bother with the usual heathen on the street if he could get a bigger catch. We are all human, with free will. We have all sinned, fall short and are working out our salvation.
Remember, re: letters to the churches, the corruption was from inside, Christians, not outsiders. Pride must be checked when offering correction... with prayer and humility, lest we pile sin on sin. You correct your addict brother, not because you’re higher or better than him, but because he’s hurting your father/family, giving bad example/corrupting his other/younger siblings and ruining his soul... and others through what he does, rather he realizes it or not, is ready to receive it or not.
We all have to answer to the Lord.
Trust in God and pray for him and all of us.
Seems to be the post-modern approach of Dolan and Pope Francis. God gave us standards, He had them written down. We are not to judge others based on 'our righteousness' but we are to present God's Law as part of Gospel preaching in order to expose the sinner as (in daniel1212's tag line) damned+destitute. Our job is to do what Jesus Christ did in Luke 18 where he confronts the rich young man with the Law and after showing the man he was not worthy according to the Law, that only with God are all things possible. The first element of Gospel preaching is to bring folks up the rocky path of Mt Sinai and then, only then once they realize they are lacking according to God's Law, we present the deliverance of Mt Zion (Christ's death and resurrection).
100% agree. And Phil Robertson was condemned for doing close to what this author did in her piece.
He was a conservative on morals, that is probably why. I felt the same way.
Plus he had a penchant for style:)
You know, Ann Barnhardt needs to stop mincing words, being so craftily subtle, and just tell us what she thinks. Really, it’s so hard to discern what she’s saying here with all the subtle word play and nuance.
Then how do we fund something that we agree upon, (example: Defense) but not stuff we disagree with (example: perversion)?
IRS takes it all & goes after anyone not paying the whole amount.
