Just as he did when he overlooked the growth of the Archdiocese of Atlanta and did not elevate Archbishop Gregory to cardinal while doing so for Archbishop DiNardo, the Pope has indeed erred in not elevating Archbishop Dolan of New York. I think it is a slap in the face to the people of the Archdiocese and province of New York. I think there will be some major withholding of financial support for the Pope due to this insult.
The cardinal designates are a wonderful choice considering the challenges we face in terms of abortion, research which destroys human embryos and harvests tissues from aborted babies. Add to that the promotion of same sex marriage, an agenda to advance assisted suicide and euthanasia while supressing the conscience rights of health care workers we have quite a challange in front of us. Cardinal designate Burke rightly pointed to many of these issues as “a culture of death” and challanged those who promote that agenda directly. We need someone like that in the role of Cardinal.
It is a fruitful harvest to the Catholic Church. The Holy Spirit blows where he wants and God does things as he wishes. We pray for the chosen leaders for the wisdom. Sr. Max
Russell,
Cardinal Egan is still under eighty. So, if there were a conclave tomorrow, then NYC would have two votes in the conclave. This would go against precedence. Once Egan turns eighty, the Pope will almost certainly make Dolan a cardinal. It also wouldn’t surprise me if Gregory gets a red hat down the road at some point in time.
