In regards to the Al Smith Dinner, for the record,
despite all Cardinal Dolan's "what would Jesus do?" rhetoric, Dolan never once challenged President Obama about his HHS (“Contraception”) Mandate,
which induces government coercion to force Catholics to act against their consciences
and religious beliefs and be a party to another person’s sin, nor did Dolan say
a word in contradiction to the Obama administration’s promotion of abortion and
homosexual fake marriage, both here and abroad. For his part, Obama never mentioned
these things either. Far from showing any kind of repentance or remorse,
nothing, certainly, at the level of bathing our Blessed Lord’s feet with his
tears, the most evil man to ever be President of the United States instead laughed
it up with Cardinal Dolan, the same Cardinal who insists so much upon his own Christ-like-ness, like the
two were old friends, even colleagues. There are plenty of pictures floating
around the various news outlets demonstrating as much.
I’m searching the Gospels right now, trying find where our Blessed Lord is portrayed as a friend and colleague with the Scribes and Sadducees and Pharisees and Romans and sinners. Is there a place where our Blessed Lord failed to mention “sin no more” or even helped a sinner or Pharisee or Scribe or Sadducee in their endeavors? I’m coming up empty so far, but I might have something here… you know?... the part where Jesus is invited into Pontius Pilate’s pretorium one Friday morning. Uh, no… there’s not much similarity there, either.

However, there was one man at the Al Smith Dinner that
did challenge President Obama over the HHS (“Contraception”) Mandate, and Obama’s
abortion position. It wasn't Cardinal Dolan, of course. Was it some Catholic
priest or layman who had been invited? Was it someone from Cardinal Dolan’s chancellery?
Perhaps it was some Catholic politician or businessman or some other influential
Catholic at the Dinner?
NO! It was a Mormon who challenged the President on these
things. Ironically, the Mormon church has no official position on abortion and
allows for artificial contraception. Yet the only person at this so-called “Catholic”
Dinner to challenge Obama on either issue was the Mormon, Mitt Romney. Romney
isn’t even 100% pro-life, yet he managed to outdo a crowd of so-called “pro-life”
Catholics. Has there ever been a better example of the moral and religious bankruptcy
of the modern novus ordo mainstream?
Granted, Romney’s sarcasm and levity concerning such
subjects was hardly Christ-like. However, he did manage to get much closer in
that regard than Cardinal Dolan and all the other Catholics at the Al Smith
Dinner, and that ought to be a wake-up call for all you Catholics sitting on the
novus ordo/traditionalist fence. Do
you really want to cast your lot with the majority that has sold out the faith
to such a point that they are upstaged in Christ-like behavior by a Mormon?
Mormons aren’t even Christian!
Cardinal Dolan was wrong when he said this Dinner showed America and the Catholic Church at their best. No, Your Eminence, what this Dinner showed at its best was the American novus ordo mainstream, which is a pathetic caricature of authentic Catholicism.

The apparitions of Fatima opened a new era, the era of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. If you have a lively devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary rejoice, you are on the right track. Unfortunately, the Catholic Hierarchy did not do enough to get on board with Our Lady's "either, or" request by 1960. The chastisement since then has been horrific, apostasy, beginning at the top and spreading throughout the Church.
