Cardinal Dolan, while just Father Dolan, at Immacolata in St. Louis in the 1970s, WITNESSED and BLIND-EYED my sexual abuse by Fr. LeRoy Valentine.
Dolan is just doing his thing.
Ignoring -- enabling -- abuse.
Why didn't I think anything of it when my abuser grabbed me, touched me and sexually abused me?
Because I had been Groomed by then Father and now Cardinal Timothy Dolan.
Dolan used to grab and hold me like he's holding that girl.
Set me up to be abused.
Abuse Dolan WITNESSED.
@CardinalDolan@thegnewsroom Cardinal. You have shamed nd humiliated American Catholics for dining with and normalizing a man credibly accused nd convicted of sexual assault, fraud, stealing from charities and who Lies all day and night. shame
Hey, US media—where’s the coverage of this? It’s almost like you’re too busy obsessing over the latest Trump drama to notice the world sending a pretty clear message: they think President Biden has done a helluva job on the international stage and they're going to miss him.
Do your job.
Notice how it’s always “vote according to Biblical values!” until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.
@IAmPoliticsGirl A a lifelong Catholic, humbled by the egregious failures of church leadership in the sex abuse scandals, this disgusts me and breaks my heart. Obviously, Dolan has learned nothing. Another thing for which we must endure public shame and embarrassment. ❤️🩹😢
I am a Catholic, up on my sacraments, raising my kids in the faith, they are up on their sacraments too, we attend Mass, we give to support my neighborhood parish & its mission in my community. But actions by guys like Cardinal Dolan are why so many folks have left the Church
Perhaps the Al Smith Memorial Foundation should focus less on black tie galas where they wine and dine convicted felons whose priority is to cut taxes for billionaires and vilify migrants, and focus more on messages like this one from @jamestalarico.
