Tell me it isn't political - JSOnline ;..
That to me is what makes Cardinal Dolan’s benediction so much worse. He is going to use the platform given to him to rail against the Obama administration and talk about “the sanctity of life.” I mean, sure, he said he invited himself to both the Democratic and Republican conventions to do a benediction. But let’s be clear, he is suing the Obama administration over the Affordable Care Act and the provision about birth control. Could you imagine him actually being invited to speak at the Democratic National Convention? I couldn’t.
I understand that Cardinal Dolan has a strong position on the issue of birth control, but I have issues when he uses his role in the Church to make political points and advance a specific candidate. I mean, maybe he will prove me wrong when he prays, but it’s hard to see that coming from a man who is suing the other candidate.
