First, he wants to be viewed as a philanthropist with his donations and , maybe, in his mind he's thinking he'll buy his way into heaven . Better if he'd given his money to feed the poor or shelter the homeless of New York than restoring a building. Second, he's taking a tax-write off by donating to the church. And as for Dolan, he blows in the wind. With the last Pope he was an in-your-face conservative toeing the anti-gay line spilling out of the Vatican. Dolan and Langone will be in one of the circles of hell reserved for hypocrites kissing each other's asses in the next life through out eternity.
