Today Archbishop Timothy Dolan was installed as New York City's new Catholic shepherd.
From his editorial that appears in today's New York Daily News:
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
My mission is to remind New Yorkers that they must welcome God to this "capital of the world" as warmly as they have welcomed so many others.
He took the opportunity during his homily at this afternoon's installation to mention social issues such as abortion (he's against it) and the sanctity of marriage (he's for it).
He also mentioned that the church lacks “power and clout, property and prestige.” And further: “Forget it. Those days are gone, if they ever existed at all.”
That presumably is for those who might still be planning to sue the Church for sexual offenses committed by priests. Fuggedabowdit.
