9. meow2u3 to Cardinal Dolan: God didn't die and make you high priest

Tue May 22, 2012, 03:45 PM

May 2012

It isn't Obama who's strangling the Church; it's Dolan and his holier-than-thou attitude that's driving faithful Catholics by acting more like dictators than the shepherds and servants they should be.

Is it just me, or is it that the more outspokenly conservative a cleric is, the less likely he is to practice what he preaches, and the more likely there are skeletons in his own closet (I'm using "he" because Catholic clerics are men)?
