Cardinal Timothy Dolan

[Robert A Whit]

I started in the church as a young guy as a deacon. At all times, those older than me at church were very respectful and at no time approached in any disrespectful the boys.

Sundays we handled setting up the table that had the cups of water (no drinking wine in church) and put bits of bread in other paper cups. I honestly can't recollect if we also went up and down the aisles passing it out. I think we also did that.

As I got older, I passed up the ranks to be a Priest. I should be an Elder had I kept attending church.

In my church experience in the boy scouts, a guy who was older than me was a homosexual and i was not aware of it till he asked me to sleep at his home where he tried to make a move.

I shut that down and never had contact with him again other than during scouts meetings.

I admit that on one weekend camping trip me and another scout peed in water and he wanted water and we handed it to him. This homosexual had gone with us for a merit badge. Since the water came from a stream, he did not know we peed in his water.

There have been a few snippets here and there that he may be in the discussion for the next Pope. I of course think it would be cool because he would be from NY. I'd probably be just as proud if the next Pope came from anywhere in the States, and of course will ultimately be happy with whoever they choose.

Thoughts about Dolan? On who else you think may be next?

If they want cooperation from Fundamentalist non-Catholics, they will choose a social conservative.

Indeed, they should consider those that teach their children to import wives. That's the ticket to success!

Actually I've been reading that the Church needs a strong fiscal conservative and manager. There has been too long a period of 'weak popes' since JPII became ill, which was nearly as long as my mom was ill. Benedict's term has been plagued with scandal, though it seems he was insulated from what was going on by the bureaucrats, which is why they'd just love a token leader. Hopefully the Cardinals will chose a strong leader.

As far as 'social conservatives' I doubt you're going to find a pope that thinks that the poor need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps or that the naked shouldn't be clothed, or those imprisoned shouldn't find comfort, etc., etc., etc.

Eh. I dont think it really matters to me. Im not Catholic. They could pick anyone and it wouldn't affect me. How about Jimnyc for Pope?

Let God's will be done.

You still can be an Elder. Go back.

I dont think Bond could do the vow of celibecy thing. Course Pope could change things.
