It's a blessing to be here: Why I'm proud to lead the wonderful Archdiocese of New York
Loving the Church here means supporting her indispensable work caring for the poor, the immigrants, the sick and elderly, the lonely, the unborn and the abandoned. It means working hard for her Catholic schools, in many ways the pride of the archdiocese. It means ensuring that our parishes are places where people encounter the Lord Jesus in the Mass, the sacraments and in an authentically Catholic community. It means inviting more young men to become priests and women to become sisters.
It means speaking from America's most famous pulpit for justice and peace, for religious liberty and the sanctity of all human life. It means teaching the Catholic faith in season and out of season, as a good shepherd must.
What a breath of fresh air ! I praise the wisdom of the holy father. Dolan is not afraid to stand up for the foundation of our catholic faith. Thank God!

I enjoyed ArchBishop's comment about protecting the unborn as a mother bear protects her cubs.
