Edit: Cardinal Dolan is a little too eager to win acceptance for an unholy manner of life.
Recently, the Cardinal was caught covering for one of his fellows, and being cavalier about the faithful laitys' complaints against a reprobate priest who was apparently thieving from church funds to pay for debauchery and wickedness for about a decade.
Complaints by the laity are finally being heard and it looks like the Archdiocese, if not Dolan himself, is being blackmailed by the priest in question, because he witness a child being sexually abused. There's a lot more to this.
As ChurchMilitant observes, Dolan is more than eager to fire and reprimand those who are either traditional, or concerned about what's going on in his diocese.
Clearly, he should resign.
His support for gender ideology is reaching the international press:
Pope Francis says the issue of gay marriage should be studied and not dismissed out-of-hand, a senior Roman Catholic cardinal has revealed.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the outspoken archbishop of New York, said Pope Francis had told him: “Rather than quickly condemn them, let's just ask the questions as to why that has appealed to certain people."
Archbishop Dolan stressed that the Pope had not shifted the Catholic Church’s position on same-sex unions.
Cardinal Dolan must resign.

Too often it seems only the most faithful and orthodox are forced out whereas some bishops who literally have destroyed their dioceses over the past decades are allowed to remain...
ReplyDeleteDolan is no more useless than his predecessors but I agree that he should resign. I think the vast majority of clerics, including bishops are corrupted thoroughly and should resign. The vast majority of Catholics, for that matter, should better leave the Church rather than corrupt it further.

Actually, back in the day, like that Patristic Church the Liturgical Jansenists are always heartening back to, Ted Kennedy wouldn't be welcome at Communion.
DeleteVoris refers to the modern Church in America as Catholic, Inc. The hierarchy are reminiscent of commissars in the Soviet Union that knew that the collapse would happen, just not when. Even the old wind bag Bill Donohue has stopped being a neo-con and has gone after "right-wing nutjobs". Rumor has it the toilet slave priest witnessed a boy being molested by a priest and has bragged about being protected for his silence. Having read some of the "controlled " Catholic media, it would seem that this whole stotpry is little more than parishoners who are malcontents and a priest who is a bit lax in bookkeeping.
ReplyDeleteHate to say it, but these clerics don't pay attention until you pierce them in the coffers. And too bad the money is from the Faithful, not from the bishops themselves. What is the hellish punishment for negligence and indifference?
ReplyDeleteThe priest has resigned.
DeleteDolan is only copying his hero Pope Francis.
DeleteIf ayone should resign, it's Pope Francis...followed by all his goons, Kasper, Mariadiaga, Tagle, and DOLAN !!!

Fr. Urine Drinker has (been) 're(as)signed' - but what about molestor priest? Isn't the NY diocese supposed to report all cases of child sex abuse to the government? Doesn't anyone here care about the child that was allegedly raped and the ones that have been subsequently raped and may be raped in the future? Where is the organization of a petition to the pope, the Nuncio and to the NY Government to investigate this issue? Child molestation is (still) a crime but won't be very long if so-called "faithful" Catholics don't blink an eye when priests are accused of sexual molestation.
ReplyDeleteDolan is an approved progressive. Those laws only apply to conservatives or people who aren't sufficiently progressive.
ReplyDeleteHELP! Send help from heaven Oh Lord! Free us from the scourge of Pope Francis the Destructor!!!
