Dolan of NYC is one of the nicest guys and has one of the finest personalities of any prelate I've seen; a super fit for NYC. Now to the real question: when will he bring back some of the nice extras such as the cappa magna?!
Archbishop Dolan is a wonderful person, very dear and nice. Always wonder how people are. I imagine seeing him in St. Patrick's Cathedral uses cappa magna, would something wonderful. But I think it only happens when it is a cardinal.
No, any ordinary celebrating Mass in his own diocese can wear the cappa magna; you don't need to be a cardinal. Archbishop Burke wore one frequently before he was made Cardinal--indeed, he even wore one at Novus Ordo Masses in his cathedral.
