Cardinal Dolan calls faithful Catholics the "new minority"!

Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York, has finally figured out that it's the Catholics who are true to the Faith of our fathers who are being ignored by Church, in her headlong rush to embrace modernism and minority groups and "those who may feel excluded" such as "the single, those with same-sex attraction, those divorced, widowed, or recently arrived in a new country, those with disabilities, the aged, the housebound, racial and ethnic minorities."

Writing in his blog on October 12th, His Eminence points to the danger of overlooking faithful Catholic families, the kind of people  he calls a "new minority", even in the Church.

...there is now a new minority in the world and even in the Church. I am thinking of those who, relying on God’s grace and mercy, strive for virtue and fidelity:
- couples who -- given the fact that, at least in North America, only half of our people even enter the sacrament of matrimony -- approach the Church for the sacrament;
- couples who, inspired by the Church’s teaching that marriage is forever, have persevered through trials;
- couples who welcome God’s gifts of many babies;
- a young man and woman who have chosen not to live together until marriage;
- a gay man or woman who wants to be chaste;
- a couple who has decided that the wife would sacrifice a promising professional career to stay at home and raise their children.
These wonderful people today often feel themselves a minority, certainly in culture, but even, at times in the Church! I believe there are many more of them than we think, but, given today’s pressure, they often feel excluded.

Walt congratulates Cardinal Dolan on finally getting it, or at least some of it. The problems of the mainstream Roman Catholic Church stem in large part from trying to adapt the Truths that Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Fathers of the Church taught us to the trendy lies relentlessly repeated by (as the prelate says) the media and the liberal "cafeteria Catholics" who follow the teachings they like but disregard the ones they don't.

Who is to blame for the loss of Faith and the loss of millions upon millions of believing Catholics who feel they have no place in today's Church? Step forward the modernists in the Church hierarchy, up to and including a couple of "sainted" popes who have led us astray for the last half-century. That would include, errr, Cardinal Dolan.

Memo to Cardinal Dolan from Ed.: Your Eminence badly needs an editor and/or graphic artist who knows how to deal with run-on sentences and huge blocks of type. I offer my services for my usual modest honorarium.
