On LI, Dolan denounces contraception rule

People think the government exists to satisfy our urges," he said.

What's next, Dolan asked the audience.

"I suppose we could say there might be some doctor who would say to a man who was suffering some sexual dysfunction, 'You ought to start visiting a prostitute to help you, and I will write a prescription and hope the government will pay for it.'

Shades of man on dog? Unbelievable. How can any woman vote Republican?

Dolan is the Cardinal for NYC, not LONG ISLAND. What right does he have to come to Long Island? Where is Murphy? My daughter lives about a mile away from this school. In fact, my son-in-law almost applied to teach at Holy Trinity HS. I told him he was CRAZY to want to teach there given the fact that he doesn't believe in Catholic teaching, and my daughter, his wife use contraception. "Do you want to get FIRED by them if they find out you as a married couple are using BC?

Keith decided it wasn't worth it and stayed with the NON-RELIGIOUS NYC Public School System.

I grew up in RVC, attended fine public schools there, and followed no Catholic stuff at the time. I suppose its a LARGE Diocese???

"We're gathering here in Hicksville, but we ain't political hicks," Dolan said. "For us, an informed, enlightened politics is a virtue of Catholic life."

Glad he wasn't in RVC, AND he/they'll fail because enlightened politics is indeed a virtue of Catholic life, and what he's serving AIN'T enlightened.

These old men in dresses need to know where the line is and what kind of visit from the IRS they can expect if they cross it.

Dolan is a flat out liar. I don't know how anyone in the congregation manages to sit still and not walk out when he starts to talk.
