It has been announced that Archbishop Timothy Dolan is to give a 'blessing' at the upcoming Republican Party convention.
This is a shocking development. He argues that this does not mean that he is supporting the party. Would the archbishop attend a meeting of one of many groups of people he condemns and give a 'blessing'?
Is someone, somewhere within the Catholic Church going to be brave and shout stop at the current tendency.
Has the world not suffered enough under German authoritarian behaviour in the last 100 years?
And the so-called certainty of their behaviour.
This can have nothing to do with the message of the Gospel.

Someone should ask him if he has blessed any drones recently?
The man has disgraced himself already and may therefore be just the right person to "bless" the GOP. Whether the Lord, if there is one, is on his side or not is another matter.
PS: those who would shout stop, apart from yourself, have probably been silenced by Vatican super injunctions.

I agree entirely, but I note he's also going to provide a benediction at the Democratic convention. Looks like a late fig leaf to me!
