Just the fact that the WaPo has picked Dolan shows that he is not quite the champion of orthodoxy that some would like to think he is. He did a great series that EWTN is airing again this year called "Saint Peter: Icon for Lent." However, he is even flawed in that, touting Centering Prayer as acceptable.

I don't claim to be in the know here, but I don't feel Cardinal Dolan is a good choice for Pope, and the fact that the Washington Post seems to think he is kind of confirms that opinion, to be honest.Cassi Mosherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665015720293096093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3528170608960559102.post-48791960722259601712013-02-18T08:30:45.536-05:002013-02-18T08:30:45.536-05:00The Holy Spirit, as He always has, will guide this...The Holy Spirit, as He always has, will guide this effort-we have that promise.

There could be nothing less important than their views. This isn't a presidential campaign. Come to think of it, their opinions are of no value in that context either.Andrea Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11060114297081919392noreply@blogger.com
