NYC Cardinal Timothy Dolan appeared on Meet the Press yesterday and talked about the church's sexual abuse scandal, and also gay football players.
Dolan, who claims to not be "anti-anybody", has equated same-sex marriage to incest, denied LGBT Catholics entry to mass, and insisted LGBT individuals are entitled to friendship, not marriage. Last year he vehemently opposed
same-sex marriage legislation in New York state, calling it a
"communist threat" and has since complained that he felt burned by lawmakers. In
May Dolan issued a memo to LGBT Catholics urging them to "pray, fast,
and sacrifice" over the Supreme Court's upcoming decisions on marriage.
But Dolan is happy for out NFL-hopeful Michael Sam
“The same Bible that tells us, that teaches us, well about the
virtues of chastity and the virtue of fidelity and marriage also tells
us not to judge people,” Dolan said. “So I would say, ‘Bravo.’”
