Re “Cardinal Dolan tells it like it is,” Father John Catoir, May 10.
Father Catoir and right-wing GOP favorite Cardinal Dolan have joined the ranks of other evangelicals like Franklin Graham, etc., who have now taken sides as political lobbyists instead of ministerial counselors. Their choice, but to so openly endorse the Republican Party of anti-women, Trump- led anti-immigrant, NRA-backing, cyberbullying and name-calling is inexcusable.
To boot, all the well-documented lack of qualifications and dishonesty of the current administration, protected by the gutless Senate and House Republicans coming off eight years of racist-inspired obstruction, in my circle eliminates Dolan, Catoir and any of the other right-leaning hierarchy from any serious consideration. Theirs is the kind of political pandering and Neanderthal thinking that has sent the masses heading for the exits.
Cardinal Dolan may be seeking more media attention; but he is not telling it like it is in the country many millions feel has totally lost its way.
