The tough talk followed by the wink, nod, and chuckle is wearing thin. Cardinal Dolan, according to the DailyNews said that he and the Bishops would be "as vociferous and rigorous as possible in our opposition" to the governor's efforts" to further entrench NY as the aborto-murder capitol of the world. One would hope that 'as vociferous as possible" will amount to ...http://www.creativeminorityreport.com/2013/05/talking-turkeys.html
The Dolan Problem STATEN ISLAND CATHOLIC - March 27, 2013 When Archbishop Timothy Dolan was appointed Archbishop of New York, everyone seemed to have an opinion on the man even before he arrived. I decided to take a wait-and-see attitude and refrained from passing judgement publicly, even when approached by a certain media outlet. After he began his reign, his public record began to invite commentary, which I offered, judging his tenure to be a mixed bag . Now, after 4 years of Dolan (how time flies!) I think we ...http://statenislandcatholic.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-dolan-problem.html

Barron writes about same sex marriage and the breakdown of moral argument in this week's edition of The Catholic Spirit . It's quit good.

From John W. Greenleaf: USCCB, OBAMA, & PAPAL BIOLOGY VOICE FROM THE DESERT - February 7, 2013 ... Daniel Maguire, a theologian and Marquette University professor who has written on church teaching and sexuality. Maguire said the interpretation of church teaching held by Cordileone, Cardinal Dolan and other bishops isn't representative of the position held by many lay Catholics and theologians.
