Bishop Flores would remove the clericalism that Dolan brought with him. Bishop Flores has roots in Texas and understands the immigration issue. He’s also against the death penalty.
Wow! I hope you got the name of the person that said that to you. I’ve never had anyone in any of the congressmen’s office talk to me in such a way. It tells you everything about Susan Collins. She must go. She is truly an abomination, just like Trump. What in the world has happened to these people?
I saw that and all I could think of was catholic clergy who went along with Hitler. So gross. I thought when we got Pope Leo , I thought God meant it to happen to prevent Our country from going fascist . BUT I am loosing hope. Kirk’s killing came at the right time for Trump to take his voters of his other problems and demonize the left. I called up my Senator Susan Collins to ask that people keep the tone down. The woman answering the phone said “the left killed Kirk. When I said what about all the kids killed by white supremacist and she said” end of conversation “ and hung up. I am still shocked.
Cardinal Dolan’s comments were quite shocking. Normally, he is much more judicious in his choice of words, this comes as a complete surprise to me. A St. Paul comparison — what?! One of the reasons he was placed in New York, and later made a cardinal, was his more diplomatic approach. To quote the great Vatican news reporter, John Allen, Jr., Dolan was favored because he reflected the pope’s pattern of “choosing prelates who are basically conservative in both their politics and their theology, but also upbeat, pastoral figures given to dialogue."
I can’t believe Dolan read or heard any of Kirk’s comments — I wonder if he was very badly briefed. You don’t get to chair the board of Catholic Relief Services or head the USCCB without knowing how to handle divisive matters, and this was definitely one of those. I have seen him on TV handle very tense meetings between opponents without a miscue, this would indicate it is time for his retirement.
I do hope while Dolan was on Fox & Friends that he at least asked why Brian Kilmeade could keep his job when he advocated for the exact equivalent of Aktion T4, the involuntary euthanasia program used by Nazi Germany against the disabled and mentally ill that took the lives of between 275,000 to 300,000 victims.
I’m not sure the Pope and the Catholic Hierarchy is Catholic anymore. Sadly, Marxism flourishes in lieu of Catholic Doctrine and the good old fashioned Ten Commandments. I am a Roman Catholic and I am ashamed of Pope Francis and I’m not encouraged at all by Pope Leo. We know Communists infiltrated the seminaries years ago. The darkness is overcoming the light! The Vatican needs an exorcism and it needs it now! We have eyes to see and ears to hear. We do not like what we see and hear because it does not match up with The Catholic Church. We have seen the fruits the synods and they are not Catholic. And, the Jubilee of Hope with a symbol which closely resembles the pride flag. Pray the Rosary, go to Confession and try to find reverent Masses with Pastors who teach The Truth! (Because Truth is a Person, The Second Person of the Holy Trinity, Jesus Christ.)
I am shocked by what Cardinal Dolan said, did he drink the kool-Aid too!!!! Disgusting! What an insult to St. Paul! And on Fox and Friends, really?? I just keep praying that God will help us out here, Pope Leo is our hope!!
When Dolan came to NY years ago he was a refreshing change from acerbic Egan. But after Francis was elected, Dolan was notably more right leaning and strangely silent when Francis was being attacked by the Catholic rightwing here.
Dolan never regained a sensible footing and his Kirk = St Paul’s comment on Fox is a devastating way to depart from his position.
I never realized what a kook Dolan is.
Dolan has been a problem for a long time.
Definitely a surprise to me also
He has long been an enabler for sex pests. It makes perfect sense to me that he is MAGA.
He's a pedophile
He was our archbishop in Milwaukee. A good old boy, a drunk, and a sex pest. The trifecta.

The death penalty is barbaric and a sign of systemic failure.

I don’t know what you’re talking about? I didn’t mention Collins and no one said anything to me.
Cardinal Dolan's statements about Kirk are an embarrassment to the Catholic Church Pope Leo can't get rid of him fast enough.

I am appalled actually that Collins would have someone like that working in her office and answering calls.
I am too. When I have called before for other things they have always said they don’t give their opinion. I am afraid to call that office back.
I would call again and get names. Someone has to be held accountable.
What phone call? You all are on the wrong thread.
That phone call defies belief! Shocking, and then some. Your experience seems to reflect the new country born less than nine months ago.
Susan Collin's has to go. I call all the time and have never spoken to a human.
Just as well Pope Leo should remove Dolan just as Pope Francis removed Strickland from Texas for protesting the Pontiff’s reforms.
Either you’re with us
Or against us
Kirk, was no martyr
He bore false witness.
Can you please share what false witness Mr. Kirk attested to? or what protests Bishop Dolan has done/said to Pope Leo?
Oh please, indulge yourself.

Dolan is a close friend of Donald Trump. Probably a closet MAGA.
Not so in the closet with his blasphemous comments
exactly...his rhetoric is not welcome and wearing the robes on cheap tv is shameful
Big yikes. Glad he's out the door.
Do we have any sources to indicate that Flores is the top contender? Usually such rumors are not reliable.
Dolan should have been removed and hidden in the nineties. I would not call him catholic.

“For an American cardinal to compare Kirk to one of Christianity’s greatest saints has prompted fierce pushback from clergy and laity alike.”
Indeed. Just so.

Dolan was always just Cardinal Burke with an avuncular personality. It took us time to find out, but it became clearer after Francis was elected.

This man should have been kicked out of the church long ago.
Live by the sword…
