Amen to Michael Hichborn and ALL. Inviting Barack Obama "sends the wrong message" and is likely to influence Catholics to vote for him. Watch for a photo of Obama and Dolan at the dinner to appear on the front page of the New York Times, Washington Post, and every other liberal rag in the country in a few weeks. Hey, Catholics, he isn't so bad. You have Dolan's permission to laugh it up with this guy for another four years. We know that's not what Dolan wants, but perception is a big part of the story in politics. Besides, in our dumbed down culture how many people just look at the pictures?
"We know that's not what Dolan wants, but perception is a big part of the story in politics."
ReplyDeleteSorry but I'm beginning to think Dolan is much more the politician than the Shepherd in this election year. The Archdiocese sits smack dab in the middle of Pride country; we have a small c catholic governor who helped get ss marriage passed. The City Council is run by another small c catholic who just married her girlfriend and is hoping to be the next mayor when Bloomterd is gone. In this perverse city, he has the task of raising $400 million to rebuild St. Patrick's cathedral before it crumbles.He aligns all charity work with what Catholic Charities does. They are the recipient of what is raised at the Al Smith dinner. They are also reliant on the Feds for 67% of their annual money. And he has a love of celebrity (his own) that I think needs a little humbling. Administrator or Shepherd? You tell me.
God help us all!
