Is it any surprise that the backing off began with the Archdiocese of New York? Does anyone expect Cardinal Dolan to show evidence of real backbone. Hey, we wouldn't want Obama to decline the next Al Smith Dinner. While the lawsuit continues, it's pretty clear that the archdiocese isn't going to play hardball which is the only thing tyrants understand.

In answer to your first question, it might have been a toss-up between him and Cardinal Wuerl.
ReplyDeleteCardinal Dolan and Biden probably talked it over when they had coffee after Palm Sunday Mass. Uncle Joe was sent as an operative to St. Patricks. He seems to have accomplished the mission. St. Patricks is in the midst of a very expensive and extensive renovation not close to being paid for. Dolan was probably told that Federal dollars (67% worth) would no longer go to Dolan’s darling, Catholic Charities. If I can figure out the Church’s vulnerability, you bet the wolves of this Administration can smell it like freshblood. Softness and weakness are the heart of this matter.
ReplyDeleteWhy am I not surprised? Dolan is a wolf in sheeps clothing - head of the American Patriotic Church.
