Cardinal Dolan - An Hypocrite?

Cardinal Dolan New York Diocese 

Not so long ago The Catholic Church was exposed for covering up the most widespread Sexual abuse Scandal committed by its Priest. Little Boys ( alter Boys ) and other male Parishioners were sodomized on church Property, outside Church Property by its Priest. The loud mouth Cardinal Dolan who is now all over the Radio Television and teachings at Mass the Evil on Government protecting all people in The United States by ensuring that, "No Citizen is denied medical Coverage regardless of Church affiliation or where or for whom you work" Cardinal Dolan is become a Leader. Where was Cardinal Dolan during the Priest Sex Scandal? Was he a part of covering up for the abusive Priests in his Parish? How much did Cardinal Dolan know about the abuses or acts of sodomy of Boys before by his priests.

Before Cardinal Dolan continue to "hold the Government accountable for acting in the best interest of all its citizens" as is its duty, this Leader of the New York Diocese Cardinal Dolan should start holding his Flock accountable protecting little boys and male members of his flock from his Priests may Sodomize them.

Since the Priest sex Scandal The Catholic Church lost thousands of Parishioners and Cardinal Dolan know this, Churches like St Ann es in Bentwood New York is almost empty on a Sunday. The Hispanic community walked away from the Catholic church in Bentwood because they no longer trust the Catholic Church to Protect its sons.

The Catholic Church and Cardinal Dolan must realize, "The Catholic Church is part of the American experience and not America a part of the Catholic Church". This is a Nation that embraces all people, Religions, Beliefs and those that do not even believe. It is the role of the Catholic Church to teach its flock their doctrines regardless of the Laws of this Country in the boundaries of religion. It is also the duty Government to enact Laws for all people of this nation Regardless of religious teachings.

When Cardinal Dolan and the Catholic Church convinces is Parishioners that Birth control methods are IMMORAL then they would have reached their objective a conversation would no longer be necessary. The truth is that, "Catholic Parishioners while they continue to respect their Church no longer find life's reality fitting into some teaching of the Church", People are evolving and the Church is way behind the people they serve.

During the Priest Sodomy Scandal the Catholic Church and Cardinal Dolan had to be embarrassed into financially settling with their victims. The Church paid in the region of $2 Billion dollars to get that scandal behind them, the Catholic Church has not recovered from that experience. If Cardinal Dolan think taking on the government on Birth Control is a way revive the Church he is so wrong. 98% of Catholic Women already us contraceptive for birth Control or other medical reasons. 

"If Cardinal Dolan and his Catholic Church continue its fight with Government on basic women's health care the Church will further its isolation from the Community started during the Priest Sodomy Scandal".

The ithrees

Rita Marley, Judy Mowatt and Marcia Griffiths

The ithrees were a Jamaican reggae singing group made up of three women, that was formed in 1974 to support Bob Marley & The Wailers after Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer the original Wailer backing vocalists left the band.The ithrees members were Marley's wife Rita Marley, plus Judy Mowatt and Marcia Griffiths. Their name is intended as a spin on the Rastafarian "i and i" concept of the Godhead within each person.

 Marcia Griffith was already a star when The ithrees came together. Her duet recordings with Bob Andy, which included "young gifted and black," had brought her international attention. When she invited Judy Mowatt, who had previously sung with the Gaylettes, and Rita Marley to harmonize with her on a recording with Bob Andy, she set the stage for the trio's formation. The recording session proved so inspiring that she invited the two women to be guests on a song that she and Andy were scheduled to perform that evening at the House of Chen in New Kingston.

Shortly after the departure of Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston from the Wailers, Bob Marley asked the three women to sing on his recording, Jah Live. They continued to work together for the next ten years. In early 1975, The ithrees joined Bob Marley for a tour as opening act for the Jackson Five. Although they continued to perform together following Bob Marley's death, the three women soon elected to pursue solo careers.

Politics of Abortion

Abortion: tough personal decision

I think you support the Republican view in some portion of your statement but be mindful we cannot have both ways.I do not support Abortion neither do Republicans and most Democrats, I do not support welfare neither do Republicans bearing in mind there is more welfare money and government Program money going to Republican leaning States than Democrats. My contention is how do we draw the line between the REPUBLICANS FORCING WOMEN TO HAVE BABIES they cannot afford forcing them onto the welfare roles and then complaining we have too many people on welfare and the Moral issue of Abortion.

Forcing mothers to have children they cannot afford is a moral issue and starving mothers with malnourished children creates an new issue. Mother and child or children will now enter the social services system where we must be provided medical and all the other services available to them.

I am not an advocate for Abortion I hate the thought of it neither am I an advocate for welfare. I have never benefited from it, I do not know what is involved qualifying for or receiving those benefits. I casually of know people are on welfare and for the years I know them their lives have not changed. I also know of people who benefited from welfare in the past and have weened themselves and their children and have gone on to lead successful lives.

Corporate America is the biggest welfare recipient and we seem to give them a pass. Giving a helping hand to those of our Citizens White, Blacks, Hispanics or any race who need it is a MORAL OBLIGATION. Where we have failed is not setting a framework to allow them to grow out of welfare.

"Welfare is a Temporary Benefit"

While we refuse benefits to our citizens in our own country our money is paying for those benefits to citizens in other countries. The US AID pays for health care dental, medical provide nutrition school uniform, books, birth, control providing Housing and every other human need to citizens of other countries all over the world. Successive US government for some 60 continuous years have supported these aid programs abroad while denying their own citizens.

"Comprehensive Heath Care to the Citizens of a Nation is not benefit but a Human Right".

The concern should not be the money spent on welfare because every penny of those funds go straight back in the economy. Let us think how we can make difference Leading people away from welfare and not forcing them to have children they cannot afford.
