NY Cardinal Timothy Dolan more likely to replace Yankee’s A-Rod than Pope Benedict - VIDEO

Dolan replacing A-Rod is much more realistic than "20k Dolan" becoming Pope.

Dolan is just another extreme right wing "opus dei" nut

For one thing the College of Cardinals would never pick a pope from a superpower country. Get real, Dolan is needed here where Catholic rights are being trampled.

@McNamara31, good post. The Vatican bureaucracy is very dysfunctional and Pope Benedict was not an adept manager of his Cardinals. Even the Pope's butler knew what was going on and tried to expose some of the corruption. Unfortunately, I expect it to be "business as usual" in the Vatican with the new Pope.

The church needs "a spiritual fixer" not another politician which Dolan clearly is. We greatly need a Pope who can restore faith and trust in an institution which failed to lead in a an honest Christlike manner with integrity and openness to confront its own sin. Sadly, just like in partisan Washington, the "cardinal deck" has been stacked with many appointments made by Benedict, who was unable to restore the faith, or fix the corruption on his watch. In the interim, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, a major player in obstructing dealing with abusive priests and most known for his "petty gossip" statement about abuse, is one of the Cardinals carrying out Vatican business until a new Pope is chosen.This shows just how embedded these cardinals are even when their past is ridden with bad judgments.For real change the new Pope has to be free of these cardinals that are committed to business as usual.

Cardinal Dolan's capable leadership is needed here in the U.S. at the time when the Constitutional rights of the R.C. Church is being questioned by those in very high places.
