Olympic-class bishop.
Meet the new Francis Cardinal Spellman: Archbishop Tim Dolan.
When he gets the red hat would be great to see him bust out Frank's old cappa magna and wear it now and then.
A layman wants to know: "When can we see an American cardinal in a cappa magna?"
When can we see our American cardinal celebrate a High Pontifical Mass of the Extraordinary Form?
ReplyDeletethe monsignor is more media savvy - tis more safe to be low church.

ReplyDeleteA: As soon as Abp Burke is made a Cardinal! Hopefully this November.
As a New Yorker I have seen no encouragement from him since here about the Extraordinary Form. To allow it in St. Patrick's which when last done was in 1996 and people had to stand on the street it was so full, would be a move in the right direction. I can hear the excuses starting already.
ReplyDeleteBased on what has been revealed in recent years about Cardinal Spellman's "secret life," I hope Archbishop Dolan is nothing like Francis Cardinal Spellman!
