        Many articles on this site (among them being Making Everyone Happy Except God, Whatever You Want, Silence, Extra! Extra! Read All About It! Dolan Finally Speaks The Truth, Ominous Offenders Offending Ominously, Memo To David Axelrod And Other Social Engineers, John Carroll's Caesar, Victims of Compromise, Taking A Figure Of Antichrist At His Worthless Words, Prisoners Of Their Own Apostasy, Timothy Dolan, Meet Timothy Dolan (And Friends),  Still Celebrating Half A Century Of Apostasy, Candidate For Man Of The Year?, From John Carroll To James Gibbons To Timothy Dolan) in the past few years have focused on the glad-handling apostate, Timothy Michael Dolan, who has been masquerading as the "archbishop" of New York since April 15, 2009. As has been noted on other occasions, "Cardinal" Dolan is but a "copy," if you will of the man who transferred him from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, where had kept his thoroughly disgraced predecessor, Rembert George Weakland, O.S.B., in "good standing" and permitted him to address Catholics at the Cathedral of Saint John the Evangelist, to the Archdiocese of New York and who elevated him to the conciliar college of "cardinals" on February 18, 2012,  Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI. 
Timothy Dolan was in the first wave of young men studying for what they thought was the Catholic priesthood following the "Second" Vatican Council. Born on February 6, 1950, Dolan studied for the priesthood in Rome at the Pontifical Academy of Saint Thomas Aquinas, the Angelicum, in the 1970s during the "pontificate" of Giovanni Montini/Paul VI. He was immersed in a study of a corrupted, Modernist version of the Catholic Faith that made little reference to those documents that preceded the "ecclesiogenesis" that sprung up at the false council that had been convened by Angelo Roncalli/John XXIIII and began its attacks on the Catholic Faith on October 11, 1962, the Feast of the Divine Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
It is important to bear in mind that men such as Timothy "Cardinal" Dolan, who is a dyed-in-the-wool Americanist, do not have Ratzinger/Benedict's background in the Faith. Ratzinger/Benedict has studied the Faith very well. His version of Modernism, wrought by way of the "new theology" he learned in seminary in Regensburg, Germany in the late-1940s, is an effort to "reinvent" and "reinterpret" the Faith according to propositions condemned by Pope Pius IX in The Syllabus of Errors, December 8, 1864, and by Pope Saint Pius X in Lamentabili Sane, July 1, 2007, Pascendi Dominci Gregis, September 8, 1907, Praestina Scripturae, November 21, 1907, and The Oath Against Modernism, September 1, 1910, and by Pope Pius XII in Humani Generis, August 12, 1950. Men such as Timothy Michael Dolan, installed as they were as presbyters in the 1970s in the first wave of those trained in the conciliar revolution, are simply copies of their masters. They are really caricatures of every slogan used by the Modernists of yore. 
Timothy Michael Dolan is a walking, ever-talking grab bag of one slogan after another. As noted four months ago now, Timothy Dolan's overwhelming ignorance was on full display on Easter Sunday, April 8, 2012, on the Columbia Broadcasting System's Face the Nation television program. As noted in Candidate For Man Of The Year?, the official transcript of Dolan's  interview on Face the Nation is such an amazing collection of emotional mishmash, illogic and sheer apostasy that, to be charitable in light of his immersion in all things conciliar from the time he attended Saint Louis Preparatory Seminary in Shrewsbury, Missouri, in 1964 at the age of fourteen, is truly the most massive amalgamation of stupidity that a conciliar official has ever provided in a televised interview, admitting that Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI's various book-length interviews over the years with journalist Peter Seewald take the prize for written amalgamations of apostasy and illogic.
Just consider a few of the "gems" uttered and misdeeds done by  "Cardinal" Malaprop, the former "Archbishop" Cheesehead of Milwaukee, in the past forty months since taking his version of the conciliar circus to the "big top" on Fifth Avenue, not to exclude, of course, the skyline view of the East River that he has  in his offices atop the twentieth floor of 1011 First Avenue in the Borough of Manhattan of the City of New York.
April 15, 2009: 
   I aim to be a happy bishop, sharing joys and laughs with you. So you will see me at the St. Patrick's parade, and at the new Yankee Stadium,
    and at processions and feast days and barbecues across our almost 400 
    parishes. Being Catholic is not a heavy burden, snuffing the joy out of 
    life; rather our faith in Jesus and His Church gives meaning, purpose 
    and joy to life. I love being a Catholic, I love being a priest, and I 
    fully intend to love being archbishop of New York while loving all of 
    you in the Church in New York. (Timothy Dolan,  New Archbishop talks to News.)
   
April 22, 2009:
 
 
  "This is awesome for me," Archbishop Dolan said.  "I have long 
    admired the work of the Anti-Defamation League from afar, and now to 
    receive your welcome and your assurances of our hope for future 
    cooperation, which I enthusiastically share, means very much to me."(Press Release of the Anti-Defamtion League.) 
The "work" of the "Anti-Defamation League" of B'Nai Brith has included, of course, the promotion of the chemical and surgical assassination of innocent preborn children and of "marriage" for those of the same gender. The "Anti-Defamation League," whose president, Abraham Foxman, denounced The Passion of the Christ as "anti-Semitic" and who has denounced both Bishop Richard Williamson, the Society of Saint Pius X and the unreformed Good Friday Prayer for the Jews and the Immemorial Mass of Tradition as anti-Semitic, has filed amicus curiae briefs in various cases to promote baby-killing and perversity under cover of the civil law. (See the compendium as found in (see   Silence for a review of some of the legal briefs by the Anti-Defamation League in support of immorality).

  Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York told an Albany 
    television reporter on March 9 that he does not favor denying Holy 
    Communion to Catholic politicians who support abortion and same-sex 
    marriage.
   “NEWS10's John McLoughlin asked Archbishop Dolan 
    if he favored denying the Church's Sacraments to politicians, like 
    Governor David Paterson, who are Roman Catholic but also pro-choice and 
    pro-gay marriage,” WTEN-TV reported. “The prelate acknowledged that some
    of his fellow bishops might favor such a ban, but Dolan said he does 
    not, preferring to follow the lead of Popes John Paul II and 
      Benedict XVI, who said it was better to try to persuade them than to 
      impose sanctions.”
   Archbishop Dolan was in Albany to lobby on behalf 
    of Catholic schools, which face increasing financial strain because of 
    unfunded government mandates.
   In Milwaukee, Archbishop Jerome Listecki said that
    he, too, would be averse to the idea of denying the Eucharist to a 
    prominent abortion advocate, although he did exclude the possibility. 
    The newly installed archbishop told an audience at the Milwaukee Press 
    Club that his decision would take into account "the impact of whatever 
    that person is doing." Before taking disciplinary action, he said, he 
    would want to "help them come to an understanding of the teaching."
   Archbishop Listecki said: "It's very difficult for
    me to see how somebody can be pro-choice knowing the teachings of the 
    church" (Timothy Dolan Will Not Refuse "Communion" to Pro-Abortion Pols.)
Consider, if only for a moment, the fact that we are now just five months, sixteen days away from the fortieth  anniversary of the Supreme Court 
decisions in the cases of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton.
 The time for "persuasion" has long since past. Alas, sanctions in the 
counterfeit church of conciliarism are reserved principally, although 
not exclusively, for those who dare to reject its multiple apostasies, 
most especially upon presbyters who dare to leave the conciliar 
structures as they reject the nonexistent "legitimacy" of Joseph 
Ratzinger as "Pope" Benedict XVI, and also upon those who dare to utter 
any word that offends the sensibilities of the conciliar church's "elder
 brothers in the faith." Persuasion? I suppose it's easier to convince 
oneself of this empty canard than to run the risk of daily ridicule in 
the secular media. 
June 19, 2010:
Timothy Dolan and his conciliar predecessor, Edward "Cardinal" Egan, attended a " Service of Rededication" at a den of the lavender collective, the Church of Saint Francis Xavier in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, New York, listening as various speakers extolled the "LGBT ministry" at a parish, located in the western part of Greenwich Village, whose parishioners walked behind a parish banner in the annual parade of perversity that makes its insidious way down Fifth Avenue, passing right in front of the Cathedral of Saint Patrick in the process, on the fourth Sunday of June until Dolan told them not to use the parish banner. Parishioners still continue to march in the parade of perversity each year. 
 November 25, 2010:
  Thanksgiving is a time of the year when people are open to the Lord, and
    we don't think about ourselves. We're grateful to God. We're conscious 
    that somebody, some call him or her, whatever you want, somebody beyond 
    us is in charge, and we are immensely grateful. (Is 'Superman' Catholic?)
   
  
"Whatever you want"? Perhaps a little reminder from something called the
 First Commandment might get you to speak about God with reference and 
precision, not a breezy, flippant casualness that reaffirms, even if by 
inadvertence, Catholics and non-Catholics alike that it really does not 
matter what you call God or how or even if your worship Him if you 
participate in the spectacle of a "thanksgiving day" that features many 
Americans gathering around their turkey dinners "thanking" "God" that 
they live in land where they can practice "freedom of choice" when it 
comes to killing innocent babies, a land of "liberty and justice" for 
all except for the Sacred Rights of Christ the King and for the innocent
 babies themselves, a land where it really does not make difference you 
call God as long as you remember that this is, after all, "one nation 
under God" even though it does not matter Who this God is or what He has
 revealed to us or that every nation has an obligation to profess belief
 in the one and only true God of Divine Revelation.
Thursday, March 31, 2011: "Archbishop" Timothy Michael Dolan permitted a so-called "Mass of Christian Burial" to be staged for the late Geraldine Anne Ferraro Zaccaro at the Church of Saint Vincent Ferrer in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, New York, despite Mrs. Zaccaro's open support for the chemical and legal slaughter of the innocent preborn.
February 14, 2012: 
  The top U.S. Catholic bishop vowed legislative and court challenges Tuesday to a compromise by President Barack Obama to his healthcare mandate that now exempts religiously affiliated 
    institutions from paying directly for birth control for their workers, 
    instead making insurance companies responsible.
  Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan, who heads 
    the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said in an interview with The 
    Associated Press that he trusted Obama wasn't anti-religious and 
    intended to make good on his pledge to work with religious groups to 
    fine-tune the mandate.
  "I want to take him at his word," Dolan said
    in Rome, where he will be made a cardinal Saturday. But he stressed: "I
    do have to say it's getting harder and harder," to believe Obama's 
    claim to prioritize religious freedom issues given the latest 
    controversy. (Top U.S. Catholic Bishop Vows Legal Challenges to Obama's Birth Control Rule.)
   
Take a figure of Antichrist at his utterly worthless words? There's also a bridge that runs from lower Manhattan to the Borough of Brooklyn that I can sell Timothy Michael Dolan.
February 24, 2012:
 
  Religious
    freedom is a fundamental right of all. This right does not depend on any
    government’s decision to grant it: it is God-given, and just societies
    recognize and respect its free exercise. The free exercise of religion extends
    well beyond the freedom of worship. It also forbids government from forcing
    people or groups to violate their most deeply held religious convictions, and
    from interfering in the internal affairs of religious organizations. (Letter to "Bishops"From "Cardinal" Dolan.)
  
A God-given right? No, a heresy is more like it:
 
  "Man should use his reason first of all to recognize his Sovereign 
    Maker, honoring Him and admiring Him, and submitting his entire person 
    to Him. For, from his childhood, he should be submissive to those who 
    are superior to him in age; he should be governed and instructed by 
    their lessons, order his life according to their laws of reason, society
    and religion. This inflated equality and liberty, therefore, 
      are for him, from the moment he is born, no more than imaginary dreams 
      and senseless words." (Pope Pius VI, Brief Quod aliquantum, March 10, 1791; Religious Liberty, a “Monstrous Right").
  The Catholic Church: For how can We tolerate with 
    equanimity that the Catholic religion, which France received in the 
    first ages of the Church, which was confirmed in that very kingdom by 
    the blood of so many most valiant martyrs, which by far the greatest 
    part of the French race professes, and indeed bravely and constantly 
    defended even among the most grave adversities and persecutions and 
    dangers of recent years, and which, finally, that very dynasty to which 
    the designated king belongs both professes and has defended with much 
    zeal - that this Catholic, this most holy religion, We say, should not 
    only not be declared to be the only one in the whole of France supported
    by the bulwark of the laws and by the authority of the Government, but 
    should even, in the very restoration of the monarchy, be entirely passed
    over? But a much more grave, and indeed very bitter, sorrow increased 
    in Our heart - a sorrow by which We confess that We were crushed, 
    overwhelmed and torn in two - from the twenty-second article of the 
    constitution in which We saw, not only that "liberty of religion and of 
    conscience" (to use the same words found in the article) were permitted 
    by the force of the constitution, but also that assistance and patronage
    were promised both to this liberty and also to the ministers of these 
    different forms of "religion". There is certainly no need of many words,
    in addressing you, to make you fully recognize by how lethal a wound 
    the Catholic religion in France is struck by this article. For when the 
    liberty of all "religions" is indiscriminately asserted, by this very 
    fact truth is confounded with error and the holy and immaculate Spouse 
    of Christ, the Church, outside of which there can be no salvation, is 
    set on a par with the sects of heretics and with Judaic perfidy itself. For when favour and patronage is promised even to the sects of heretics
      and their ministers, not only their persons, but also their very 
      errors, are tolerated and fostered: a system of errors in which is 
      contained that fatal and never sufficiently to be deplored HERESY which,
      as St. Augustine says (de Haeresibus, no.72), "asserts that all 
      heretics proceed correctly and tell the truth: which is so absurd that 
      it seems incredible to me." (Pope Pius VII, Post Tam Diuturnas, April 29, 1814, POST TAM DIUTURNAS)
  "This shameful font of indifferentism gives rise to
    that absurd and erroneous proposition which claims that liberty of 
    conscience must be maintained for everyone. It spreads ruin in sacred 
    and civil affairs, though some repeat over and over again with the 
    greatest impudence that some advantage accrues to religion from it. "But the death of the soul is worse than freedom of error,"
    as Augustine was wont to say. When all restraints are removed by which 
      men are kept on the narrow path of truth, their nature, which is already
      inclined to evil, propels them to ruin. Then truly "the bottomless pit"
      is open from which John saw smoke ascending which obscured the sun, and
      out of which locusts flew forth to devastate the earth. Thence comes 
      transformation of minds, corruption of youths, contempt of sacred things
      and holy laws -- in other words, a pestilence more deadly to the state 
      than any other. Experience shows, even from earliest times, that cities 
      renowned for wealth, dominion, and glory perished as a result of this 
      single evil, namely immoderate freedom of opinion, license of free 
      speech, and desire for novelty.
   Here We must include that harmful and never 
    sufficiently denounced freedom to publish any writings whatever and 
    disseminate them to the people, which some dare to demand and promote 
    with so great a clamor. We are horrified to see what monstrous doctrines
    and prodigious errors are disseminated far and wide in countless books,
    pamphlets, and other writings which, though small in weight, are very 
    great in malice. We are in tears at the abuse which proceeds from them 
    over the face of the earth. Some are so carried away that they 
    contentiously assert that the flock of errors arising from them is 
    sufficiently compensated by the publication of some book which defends 
    religion and truth. Every law condemns deliberately doing evil 
      simply because there is some hope that good may result. Is there any 
      sane man who would say poison ought to be distributed, sold publicly, 
      stored, and even drunk because some antidote is available and those who 
      use it may be snatched from death again and again? (Pope Gregory XVI, Mirari Vos, August 15, 1832.)
  For you well know, venerable brethren, that at this
    time men are found not a few who, applying to civil society the impious
    and absurd principle of "naturalism," as they call it, dare to 
      teach that "the best constitution of public society and (also) civil 
      progress altogether require that human society be conducted and governed
      without regard being had to religion any more than if it did not exist;
      or, at least, without any distinction being made between the true 
      religion and false ones." And, against the doctrine of Scripture, of the Church, and of the Holy Fathers, they do not hesitate to assert that "that
        is the best condition of civil society, in which no duty is recognized,
        as attached to the civil power, of restraining by enacted penalties, 
        offenders against the Catholic religion, except so far as public peace 
        may require." From which totally false idea of social government they do
        not fear to foster that erroneous opinion, most fatal in its effects on
        the Catholic Church and the salvation of souls, called by Our 
        Predecessor, Gregory XVI, an "insanity," viz., that "liberty of 
        conscience and worship is each man's personal right, which ought to be 
        legally proclaimed and asserted in every rightly constituted society; 
        and that a right resides in the citizens to an absolute liberty, which 
        should be restrained by no authority whether ecclesiastical or civil, 
        whereby they may be able openly and publicly to manifest and declare any
        of their ideas whatever, either by word of mouth, by the press, or in 
        any other way." But, while they rashly affirm this, they do not think 
        and consider that they are preaching "liberty of perdition;" and that 
        "if human arguments are always allowed free room for discussion, there 
        will never be wanting men who will dare to resist truth, and to trust in
        the flowing speech of human wisdom; whereas we know, from the very 
        teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ, how carefully Christian faith and 
        wisdom should avoid this most injurious babbling." (Pope Pius IX, Quanta Cura, December 8, 1864.)
  
April 8, 2012:
 
  BOB SCHIEFFER: I want to talk a little politics with you, your eminence back in 1960.
   TIMOTHY DOLAN: I'm not surprised.
  BOB
    SCHIEFFER: When John Kennedy became the first Catholic President, he 
    made a speech during the campaign, because he said flatly, he wanted 
    people to know and he wanted to assure them that he thought there was a 
    separation between church and state. Here is the way he put it.
  TIMOTHY DOLAN: Yeah.
  JOHN
    F. KENNEDY (September 12, 1960): I believe in an America where the 
    separation of church and state is absolute; where no Catholic prelate 
    would tell the President, should he be Catholic, how to act, and no 
    Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote.
  BOB
    SCHIEFFER: Now people in both parties have referred back to that over 
    the years as-- as a good definition of church and state, but during this
    campaign year, one of the Republican candidates, Rick Santorum, said 
    this about it.
  RICK SANTORUM (November 11, 2011): If I 
    had the opportunity to read the speech, I almost threw up. He should 
    read the speech. It's-- in my opinion it was the beginning of the 
    secular movement of politicians to separate their faith from the public 
    square. And he threw faith under the bus in that speech.
  BOB
    SCHIEFFER: Your eminence, where do you think the line should be between
    church and state? Is there, should there be a separation?
   TIMOTHY DOLAN: You bet there should. You bet there should. That's good,
    that separation between church and state is good, not only for the 
    United States, it's also good for the church. I'd find myself and give 
    me a second to explain this, Bob, I'd find myself, believe it or not, 
    agreeing with both of them. I would cheered what John Kennedy said, he 
    was right, and I would-- I would find myself among those applauding that
    speech. That having been said, I would also say that Senator Santorum 
    had a good point because, unfortunately, what John Kennedy said in 
    September of 1960 to the Baptist Ministerial Alliance in Texas has been 
    misinterpreted to mean that a separation of church and state also means a
    cleavage a wall between one's faith and one's political decisions, 
    between one's-- one's moral focus and between one-- the way one might 
    act in the political sphere. I don't think John Kennedy meant that and 
    as you know recent scholarship has shown that John Kennedy was very 
    inspired by vision, by character, by virtue, let's call that faith, 
    let's call that morals. So I don't think John Kennedy meant a cleavage 
    between faith and politics. He did mean a wall between state and church,
    and I would applaud that one, but I would agree with Senator Santorum 
    that unfortunately that has been misrepresented to mean that faith has 
    no place in the public square. That, I would, with Senator Santorum say 
    is a misinterpretation not only what Senator Kennedy meant but with what
    the American genius is all about. (Page Three of the Transcript from Face the Nation, Easter Sunday, April 8, 2012.)
Applauding a "wall between state and church"? What an utter ignoramus:
 
  That the State must be separated from the Church is a thesis absolutely 
    false, a most pernicious error. Based, as it is, on the principle that 
    the State must not recognize any religious cult, it is in the first 
    place guilty of a great injustice to God; for the Creator of man is also
    the Founder of human societies, and preserves their existence as He 
    preserves our own. We owe Him, therefore, not only a private cult, but a
    public and social worship to honor Him. Besides, this thesis is an 
    obvious negation of the supernatural order. It limits the action of the 
    State to the pursuit of public prosperity during this life only, which 
    is but the proximate object of political societies; and it occupies 
    itself in no fashion (on the plea that this is foreign to it) with their
    ultimate object which is man's eternal happiness after this short life 
    shall have run its course. But as the present order of things is 
    temporary and subordinated to the conquest of man's supreme and absolute
    welfare, it follows that the civil power must not only place no 
    obstacle in the way of this conquest, but must aid us in effecting it. 
    The same thesis also upsets the order providentially established by God 
    in the world, which demands a harmonious agreement between the two 
    societies. Both of them, the civil and the religious society, although 
    each exercises in its own sphere its authority over them. It follows 
    necessarily that there are many things belonging to them in common in 
    which both societies must have relations with one another. Remove the 
    agreement between Church and State, and the result will be that from 
    these common matters will spring the seeds of disputes which will become
    acute on both sides; it will become more difficult to see where the 
    truth lies, and great confusion is certain to arise. Finally, this 
    thesis inflicts great injury on society itself, for it cannot either 
    prosper or last long when due place is not left for religion, which is 
    the supreme rule and the sovereign mistress in all questions touching 
    the rights and the duties of men. Hence the Roman Pontiffs have never 
    ceased, as circumstances required, to refute and condemn the doctrine of
    the separation of Church and State. (Pope Saint Pius X, Vehementer Nos, February 11, 1906.)
Was Pope Saint Pius X wrong, "Cardinal" Dolan?
Catholicism is the one and only foundation of 
  personal and social order, making it necessary yet again to turn to 
  these words of Pope Saint Pius X, contained in Notre Charge Apostolique, August 15, 1910:
   Here we have, founded by Catholics, an 
    inter-denominational association that is to work for the reform of 
    civilization, an undertaking which is above all religious in character; for
      there is no true civilization without a moral civilization, and no true
      moral civilization without the true religion: it is a proven truth, a 
      historical fact. (Pope Saint Pius X, Notre Charge Apostolique, August 15, 1910.)
   
Timothy Michael Dolan does not believe this. Aping his conciliar "pope," he wants all "religions" to have their say in society.
A generic attachment to 
  "religion," however, is of the essence of Judeo-Masonry, not Catholicism. That it 
  is "good enough" for the lords of conciliarism, including Joseph 
  Ratzinger/Benedict XVI and "Archbishop" Charles Chaput, makes relevant 
  once again this warning about Masonry and its ethos given us by Pope Leo
  XIII in Custodi Di Quella Fede, December 8, 1892:
 
   Everyone should avoid familiarity or friendship 
    with anyone suspected of belonging to masonry or to affiliated groups. 
    Know them by their fruits and avoid them. Every familiarity 
      should be avoided, not only with those impious libertines who openly 
      promote the character of the sect, but also with those who hide under 
      the mask of universal tolerance, respect for all religions, and the 
      craving to reconcile the maxims of the Gospel with those of the 
      revolution. These men seek to reconcile Christ and Belial, the Church of
      God and the state without God. (Pope Leo XIII, Custodi Di Quella Fede, December 8, 1892.)
April 8, 2012:
 
  BOB SCHIEFFER: Well, there was certainly no duct tape on-- on-- on 
    your mouth when the President came out and let it be known that his 
    health care plan included Catholic institutions having to buy birth 
    control pills for their employees at church-- in churches and in schools
    and in hospitals. I want to ask you about that because I interviewed 
    the vice president last week and he told me that it all had been 
    resolved. Here-- here is what he said.
  JOE BIDEN: On the 
    substance, the President ended up exactly where he intended, where he 
    began. Which was that, one, every woman in America should be able to 
    have insurance coverage for birth control if she so chooses and that the
    Catholic Church and other churches should not have to pay for it or 
    provide it. That's exactly where we are now. 
  BOB SCHIEFFER: For the record is that what you advised the President?
  JOE BIDEN: Yes. But that's also where the President was in the front end.
  BOB SCHIEFFER: So I guess that question I'd ask you, Your Eminence, are you good with that?
  TIMOTHY DOLAN: No, although I appreciate very much the Vice President. 
    He has been helpful and I-- I-- I have benefitted from his counsel and I
    look forward to talking to him again. So I am glad he weighed in on it 
    but I would disagree with him. It hasn't helped us much, Bob, because-- 
    because we still have to pay for it, because most of us are self-insured
    and we are still worried not just about our institutions but also the 
    individuals. So we still find ourselves in a very tough spot, and we're 
    still going to continue to express what we believe is just not a 
    religious point of view but a constitutional point of view that 
    America's at her best when the government doesn't force a citizen or a 
    group of citizens in a religious creed to violate their deepest held 
    moral convictions.
  BOB SCHIEFFER: Do you agree with what 
    the vice president seemed to be saying that this-- that the President 
    really didn't change his position?
   TIMOTHY 
    DOLAN: Yes, I-- I think so. Although I am a little confused, because the
    President told me his convict--- his position, his conviction is that 
    the government would do nothing to impede religion. And he-- he was very
    gracious, and especially complimenting the Catholic family in the 
    United States in their work for health care charity and education. And 
    he'd say I don't want this administration to do anything to-- to impede 
    that. It's tough for me to see how the strangling HHS Regulations do 
    anything but that. (Page Four of the Transcript from Face the Nation, Easter Sunday, April 8, 2012.)
Timothy Michael Dolan very much appreciates Vice President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., and has benefitted from his counsel? Huh? Appreciate Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., a pro-abort Catholic politician of longstanding? Appreciate Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.? (see    Lest We Forget, Memo to Joseph Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Their Conciliar Enablers, Fact and Fiction, Fallacies Galore, Just A Personal Visit and "D" Stands For Demagogue). 
Here's news for Timothy Michael Dolan: Pope Pius XI does not appreciate the likes of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. He would never have sought the counsel of such a man:
 
  Those who hold the reins of government should not forget that it
    is the duty of public authority by appropriate laws and sanctions to 
    defend the lives of the innocent, and this all the more so since those 
    whose lives are endangered and assailed cannot defend themselves. Among 
    whom we must mention in the first place infants hidden in the mother's 
    womb. And if the public magistrates not only do not defend them, but by 
    their laws and ordinances betray them to death at the hands of doctors 
    or of others, let them remember that God is the Judge and Avenger of 
    innocent blood which cried from earth to Heaven. (Pope Pius XI, Casti Connubii, December 31, 1930.)
Has Timothy Michael Dolan warned  Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., that his immortal soul is in jeopardy of eternal hell fire? I forgot. This is against his false religion, concilairism.  
        Mind you, these are only a few highlights of the past forty months of Timothy Michael Dolan's "reign" as conciliar "archbishop" of New York. 
It should, therefore, surprise no one that the walking, talking cliche-filled exemplar of conciliarism as the president of the falsely titled entity known as the "United States Conference of Catholic Bishops" will host the annual yuk-feast at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel known as the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner, held in honor of the first Catholic to be nominated by a major organized crime family of naturalism in the United States of America to be its presidential nominee, Alfred Emmanuel Smith (see Cut From the Same Cloth), on Thursday, October 18, 2012. While it is unknown at this point whether the currently reigning, pro-abortion American caesar, Barack Hussein Obama, who has declared war on the Catholic Faith much in the same manner as Plutarco Elias Calles eighty-six years ago now, or his pro-contraception, pro-abortion "in hard cases" and formerly pro-abortion in all cases opponent, Willard Mitt Romney, who is not making any kind of issue out of ObamaCare or Fast and Furious and only speaks about Obama's health-insurance coverage mandate for contraction and other "family planning" services before friendly and very clueless Catholic audiences, will appear, what is referred to colloquially as the "Al Smith Dinner" has had a very long history of pro-aborts serving as its honored speakers over the years.
Among these pro-aborts have been then United States Secretary of State Heinz Alfred Kissinger (see Foggy Bottom's Bloody Tradition and Making It Up As They Go Along), who has been serving as a consultant to Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict on foreign policy issues since 2006 (see It's Up--and It's No Good!) in 1974, then Governor Hugh Leo Carey of the State of New York, who was pro-death at the time and would remain so until 1990, not that it changed his political endorsements, which included William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, Albert Arnold Gore, Jr., and Barack Hussein Obama, thereafter, in 1977, then Governor Michael S. Dukakis of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1988, who appeared with the partly pro-life and partly pro-abortion Vice President George Herbert Walker Bush, then First Lady Barbara Bush in 1989, then United States Senate Minority Leader Robert Joseph Dole, Jr., who had supported then President Clinton's decision to fund embryonic stem cell search with Federal taxpayer dollars, in 1993, a complete pro-abort, then Vice President Albert Arnold Gore, Jr., and his partly pro-life, partly pro-death Masonic opponent, Jack Kemp, in 1996, the late Timothy Russert, a Catholic who had worked for pro-aborts Mario Matthew Cuomo and Daniel Patrick Moynihan, in 1997, the pro-abort Tom Brokaw in 1998, the pro-abort Gore and his presidential opponent in 2000, the partly pro-life and partly pro-abortion George Walker Bush (who appeared again  in 2004 along with the eighty-five year-old Hugh Leo Carey), the partly pro-life, partly pro-death and completely pro-perversity Vice President Richard Bruce Cheney in 2001, the completely pro-death United States Secretary of State Colin Powell in 2002, the partly pro-life an partly pro-death United States Senator John Sidney McCain III in 2005, the pro-death and pro-Obama Brian Williams, who is a Catholic, by the way, in 2006, the completely pro-abortion former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Tony Blair in 2007 after his conversion to the conciliar structures, McCain and Obama in 2008 (need one write more?) and the pro-abortion Catholic couple of James Carville and Mary Matalin Carville in 2010. That's quite a lineup of pro-aborts of all political stripes, not including the statist President Lyndon Baines Johnson who got the United States of America involved in the business of funding domestic "family planning programs" in 1965, who addressed the dinner as vice president in 1962 and as president in 1964 and 1968 (see Dinner Speakers).
In light of the mandate crafted by the pro-abortion, Catholic Secretary of Health of Human Services Kathleen Sebelius and issued by President Barack Hussein Obama, Mrs. Randy Engel, the founder and director of the U. S. Coalition for Life, is calling for this years Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner to be cancelled. This is, of course, a most noble goal, especially in light of the fact that the stated goal of the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation to provide money for children, including homes for unwed mothers and pregnancy counseling centers, that could be raised simply by asking those who would otherwise fork over the big bucks to attend the yuk fest simply to make a donation to the foundation in the amount that tickets would have cost. 
The reality, however, is that the clueless Catholics with the big bucks like their night out in white tie and tails. They like yukking it up over the "funnies" made by the speakers. They will applaud Willard Mitt Romney this year with vigor even though the man is a fake, phony and fraud on issues that should matter to Catholics and is a member of a fake, phony, fraud religion made up by a confidence man named Joseph Smith in Palmyra, New York, in 1829. They are always looking for the "secular savior" who is going to slay the latest boogeyman of the false opposite of the naturalist "left." 
Additionally, of course, this will be Timothy Michael Dolan's first chance to preside over an Al Smith Dinner during a presidential campaign. It is not very likely that he is going to give up the spotlight that he loves so much for the sake of sobriety at a time of government-sponsored persecution of Catholicism that has nothing to do with the Americanist embodiment of the heresy known as religious liberty and everything to do with simple hatred of the true Faith on the part of the statists who seek to control our minds and our bodies for our own "good," you understand.
Mrs. Engel's proposal is, of course, a good one. I have a better one, I believe, however: just cancel the counterfeit church of conciliarism lock, stock and barrel.
Alas, that is going to be for God to do in His good time, not ours, as we accept the chastisements of the moment as coming from His loving hand for His honor and glory and for our sanctification through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Remember, A miraculous fall of snow on the Esquiline Hill in Rome Italy, on August 5, 355 A.D., one thousand, six hundred sixty-seven years ago yesterday, made 
  clear an  outline of the great basilica that was to be built in honor of
  Our Lady, which is called today the Basilica of Saint Mary Major. The outline Basilica di 
  Sancta Maria Maggiore was to be found in the snows on Esquiline Hill. 
  In this great basilica, can be found the Crib in which the Newborn 
  Christ-Child was placed upon His birth in Bethlehem, the body of Saint 
  Jerome, who had laid his head on that crib, and the relics of Saint Matthias. The ceiling of its nave is 
  covered with the first gold that was brought back by the Spaniards from 
  the Americas. The feast that was commemorated yesterday, the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost,  reminds us that it is God's will for us 
  to give public honor to His Most Blessed Mother, who has been sent to us
  by Him on numerous occasions through the centuries to give us various 
  aids (the Rosary, the Brown Scapular, the Miraculous Medal, the Green 
  Scapular) to give us home to Heaven.
We must trust that Our Lady will help to manifest the
  Triumph of her Immaculate Heart and thus ushering in her Reign, the 
  Reign of Mary, as her Divine Son's Social Reign is restored in as 
  miraculous manner as snow fell in Rome so miraculously on the night of 
  August 4, 355. Every Rosary we pray will help to bring about this 
  miracle as the Church Militant on earth resurrects from her mystical 
  burial. Each of our acts of penance in reparation for our sins will help
  to bring about this miracle. 
It is not given to us to know the day or the other 
  when the conciliarists will be vanquish as, to quote the late William C.
  Koneazny once again, Our Lady "throws the bums out." It is enough for 
  us to do our parts each day to sanctify our immortal souls as we give 
  honor and glory to the Most Blessed Trinity through Our Lady's Sorrowful
  and Immaculate Heart. We must be patient in bearing the crosses of this
  present moment, praying as many Rosaries as our state in life permits. 
We must beg Our Lady to ask us to be faithful to this simple statement of Catholic truth by Pope Saint Pius X that has never been uttered by any conciliar "pope" or by any of the speakers at the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner: 
  This, nevertheless, is what they want to do with 
    human society; they dream of changing its natural and traditional 
    foundations; they dream of a Future City built on different principles, 
    and they dare to proclaim these more fruitful and more beneficial than 
    the principles upon which the present Christian City rests.
  No, Venerable Brethren, We must repeat with the 
    utmost energy in these times of social and intellectual anarchy when 
    everyone takes it upon himself to teach as a teacher and lawmaker - the
      City cannot be built otherwise than as God has built it; society cannot
      be setup unless the Church lays the foundations and supervises the 
      work; no, civilization is not something yet to be found, nor is the New 
      City to be built on hazy notions; it has been in existence and still is:
      it is Christian civilization, it is the Catholic City. It has only to be set up and restored continually against the unremitting attacks of insane dreamers, rebels and miscreants. omnia instaurare in Christo. (Pope Saint Pius X, Notre Charge Apostolique, August 15, 1910.)
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and the hour of our death. 
Vivat Christus Rex!
