New Yorkers back Cardinal Timothy Dolan as replacement for Pope Benedict in Rome - VIDEO

The R.C. Church here in the U.S. needs the capable leadership of Cardinal Dolan, especially at a time when the Constitutionally protection of the Church is under attack from the highest office holder in the nation. Dolan would do a great job as Pope, but we need him here at home.

Since we are on a roll, I suggest that Cardinal Dolan step down, as well. And I say that as a practicing Catholic.

only g-d's own surely want this puppet not any serious rc human. A Latin America candidate is the church's only salvation one who will send missionaries to rechristianize europeans.

The church doesn't want someone from a superpower so that leaves Dolan out. Give me either Ouilett of Canada or Turkson of Ghana.

It will probably be at least a couple more centuries before any US bishop/cardinal even comes close to being considered for th etop job in the church. Like our national politics the RC Church is badly divided about what it means to be a true Christian. We need a leader who can unite people into communities that love God and their neighbors throughout the world as themselves. We dot need leaders who love doctrines like natural birth control and the superiority of the male gender that artificially diminish and restrict the lives of others.

new yorkers are that eager to see the guy go? he just got there a year or two ago, no?
