The NYT on *Cardinal* Dolan

This piece, in the NYT, has the usual eye-roll-inducing bits, but also some nice stuff, like this:

“What weighs on me the most,” he said in an interview in December, “is the caricature of the Catholic Church as crabby, nay-saying, down in the dumps, discouraging, on the run. And I’m thinking if there is anything that should be upbeat, affirming, positive, joyful, it should be people of faith.”

Or, as he recently said on the show to the Rev. James Martin, a Jesuit priest who writes about the importance of humor: “We priests, and religious sisters and brothers, sometimes give the impression of being crabs, that we are burdened, and that things are so bad. And who would want to join that?”

I've been consistently way-impressed with and inspired by Cardinal Dolan, and have high hopes for his evangelical efforts!
