Sandro Magister Praises Cardinal Dolan

A bit much? Synod. The “Conspirator” Who Does Everything in the Light of Day by Sandro Magister

He is Timothy Dolan, one of the thirteen cardinals of the letter to the pope. A living example of that “parresia,” that candor of word and thought, so desired by Francis

Napier, the Voice of Truth on the Letter of the Thirteen Cardinals by Sandro Magister
