Thanks for posting this NYer. New Yorkers should get that newspaper front page image blown up to a gigantic billboard size, and place it somewhere near St. Patrick's Cathedral so that Dolan can see it often, and learn something about the virtue of courage, and about faithfulness to Church teachings.

(I'm starting to think that envy may be playing a part in Dolan's odious mistreatment of Fr. Rutler, as well as in his senseless interference in the cause for sainthood for Archbishop Fulton Sheen.)

I don't know if you got a chance to see these links concerning Fr. Rutler that I put into another thread the other day, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to put them here again in case you didn't see them. (I know you're a big fan of Fr. Rutler too.)

Here is that paragraph I posted on another thread:

You may be interested in taking a look at this video clip, which is one of the last celebrations of the Latin Mass by Fr. George Rutler at The Church of Our Savior, Manhattan, before Cardinal Dolan reassigned him to another parish in "Hell's Kitchen".
   "Perhaps the last saying of Latin Mass by Fr. Rutler at Church of Our Savior, Manhattan"
You can read about Fr. Rutler's reassignment, and the apparent bad fruits of that reassignment in these articles and comments:
   "Fr. George Rutler Moved from Our Saviour to St. Michael’s"
   "Fr. Rutler reassigned in NYC"
   "It’s Extraordinary"
   "How Much Anaesthetic Does A Dolanoscopy Require?"

When I worked in the governor's office, there were times when I was sent down to his NYC office. It was a few blocks away from The Church of Our Saviour, where Fr. Rutler served as pastor. At the end of the work day, I scheduled a few extra minutes to stop by the church and spend some time in prayer before catching the train at Penn Station. He established an oasis in the midst of the frenetics that make up Manhattan. Dolan wasted no time, ripping him from there and re-assigning him to St. Michael's. Now, both St. Michael's and Church of the Holy Innocents, are on the short list for closing. You nailed it!
