Timothy Dolan laughs after being elected president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

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
ACTUAL QUOTES (hat-tip: Fr. Peter Carota of Traditional Catholic Priest - Blog)
This is an exerpt:
“The road to hell is paved with the skulls of bishops.”
Saint John Eudes, attributed.4
“It must be observed, however, that if the faith were endangered, a subject ought to rebuke his prelate even publicly.”
St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica II, II, q. 33, a. 45
“Augustine says in his Rule: ‘Show mercy not only to yourselves, but also to him who, being in the higher position among you, is therefore in greater danger.’ But fraternal correction is a work of mercy. Therefore even prelates ought to be corrected.”
St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica II, II, q. 33, a. 4, Sed Contra.
“It is better that scandals arise than the truth be suppressed.”
Pope St. Gregory the Great 6
“But, when necessity compels, not those only who are invested with power of rule are bound to safeguard the integrity of faith, but, as St. Thomas maintains: ‘Each one is under obligation to show forth his faith, either to instruct and encourage others of the faithful, or to repel the attacks of unbelievers.’”
Pope Leo XIII7
“The floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops!” ~St. John Chrysostom

Woe to the pastors, that destroy and tear the sheep of my pasture, saith the Lord.
I agree with you (and Ann, and the Duck Commander).
By what construct does a portion of my output “belong” to Caesar?
Ah, 'tis the Dolan Boy! This is what watching Dennis Day/Bing Crosby/Pat O'Brien re-reruns can do to an impressionable NYC Catholic Irish boyo of the 50's. Met a million of'em.
Dolan was not chosen by the Pope. O no. He was sent over by 1930s Central Casting as a "Stage Irishman" of the olde school. Bet he knows a thousand Pat and Mike jokes, begorrah! That includes the one which ends ".... bajasus, the Bishop is pregnant!"
At least we know where he probably is ... at home in the episcopal palace watching "The Quiet Man" on VHS. Why didn't they make this fool Archbishop of Boston, where the faux-Irish Brogue-and-all IRA boolshiite still plays well ... so well that John Kerry convinced them HE was Irish!
“Not very adequate, but it's better than assault and battery on a priest, which would be a pretty serious canonical delict.”
Only if you're assaulting him because he's a priest. If you're assaulting him because he's a complete heretical idiot, that's not a canonical violation.

Timothy Dolan laughs after being elected president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Yes, if minor, it is not necessary, as the Bible shows.
Yet attributing words of tradition to the Lord is profane:
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.
There is zero evidence the demons are repulsed by this, any more than they are to swine, or even have any virtue, and in fact it is demons who are behind sodomy, not repelled by it.
But Scripture is only a servant for Rome, not her master. and insufficient to support her traditions, thus she can attempt to provide for herself what is needed.
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.
This is true. There is not such thing as no judging in this sense. The sodomites in Gn. 19 also came out - to get in Lot's door and his holy guests. Who did not say "Bravo."
In fact, no alleged "private revelations" --- including visions, dreams, infused knowledge, mystical appearances and so forth --- are to be used as sources of doctrine, nor are any of the faithful obliged to believe in them de fide --- not even if the apparent vision or locution was one that you, yourself experienced.
Keeping this in mind will help keep your criticisms of the Church better-defined and more judicious.
Tax law.
Don’t like it?
Work to change it; Ted Cruz came right out and said abolish the IRS ...
Who’s with him?
P.s.
When did you stop paying taxes?
I understand that these are not doctrine, and they are not even supposed to improve or complete what Rome holds as Divine revelation , yet Rome can affirm and use them under the premise that they contribute to a deeper understanding of the faith. However, i was not asserting this was RC doctrine, but the use this PR was consistent with Rome invoking extraBiblical material as being the word of God. And demons being repelled by sodomy is an unwarranted even as an interpretation and contrary to what Scripture does reveal about demons.
In fact the devil, who seeks to pervert what God made good and to imitate the almighty, is the one behind sodomy, thus it is a product of idolatry, making gods according to man's own perverse liking, as well making a perverse sexual union. (Rn. 1:26ff)
And thus the use of this weakens his argument. But instead of reproving this profane tale, RCs repeat it as Scripture is not their supreme authority.
But thank you for to trying to help me keep my criticisms of Rome better-defined and more judicious. That is a worthy goal.
So, Caesar gets to decide what belongs to him and what belongs to God?
p.s. I still pay taxes under threat of bodily harm and eradication, just like everyone else.
There it is in a nutshell, and look, no replies.
I would be dubious about such a supposed mystical insight, because it was long a homiletic commonplace in the Middle Ages that sodomy was one of the chief sports of demons in hell. It's a constant torture. That, the stink, and of course the heat.
Sodomy being one of the Four Sins Which Cry Out To Heaven For Vengeance (that, plus murder, the oppression of widows and orphans, and depriving a workman of his just wages) -- that's Biblical -- it delights the rebellious bodiless entities by its very repulsiveness.
Upthread I said it was the Good Book (&Jesus) that says about taxes “render to Caesar what belongs to Caesar “.
There are a few legitimate functions of government. A portion of your output as needed to fund those functions “belongs to Caesar”.
Those legitimate functions make up about 10% of the current version of the Federal government.
I should be more precise. YHWH wrote them down on stone originally.
I dig the sombrero.
