GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS (HOST): And you know, especially this week because its been at the top of the news for many gay and lesbian Americans gay and lesbian Catholics, they feel unwelcome in the Church. And what do you say as a minister, as a pastor to a gay couple that comes to you and say, We love God. We love the Church. But we also love each other, and we want to raise a family in faith. What do you say to them?
DOLAN: Well, the first thing Id say to them is, I love you, too. And God loves you. And you are made in Gods image and likeness. And and we we want your happiness. But and youre entitled to friendship. But we also know that God has told us that the way to happiness, that especially when it comes to sexual love that is intended only for a man and woman in marriage, where children can come about naturally. We gotta be we gotta do better to see that our defense of marriage is not reduced to an attack on gay people. And I admit, we havent been too good at that.

Dolan's background in crime:
Tragic as the sexual abuse scandal in the Roman Catholic Church has been, it is shocking to discover that Cardinal Timothy Dolan, while archbishop of Milwaukee, moved $57 million off the archdiocesan books into a cemetery trust fund six years ago in order to protect the money from damage suits by victims of abuse by priests.
Cardinal Dolan, now the archbishop of New York, has denied shielding the funds as an old and discredited allegation and malarkey. But newly released court documents make it clear that he sought and received fast approval from the Vatican to transfer the money just as the Wisconsin Supreme Court was about to open the door to damage suits by victims raped and abused as children by Roman Catholic clergy.
