I have a parochial vicar from Ghana who is currently there on vacation. We have a Nigerian visiting his home also who is the pastor of our neighboring parish. I was shocked, appalled and embarrassed by Cardinal Kasper's arrogant, German-elitist, cultural imperialism, western elitist and racist comments against his African brother bishops and cardinals and striving to keep their voice out of the Synod of the Bishops and implying that the Pope is on his side in this regard! He's done this before on other issues. He is totally immature!
Cardinal Dolan without once mentioning this loose canon of a Cardinal sets the record straight and in a marvelous way!

Excellent! Our faith traditional teachings do not have to be watered down. The truth wins out and will set us free--Modernist progressives watch and see! "Out of Africa" comes what our church needs in this troubled time. TBTG.
Cardinal Dolan himself doesn't usually strike me as a model of episcopal maturity, usually behaving more like a clown than a clergyman. But this is impressive.
Sing a song of synods, and marriages denied
Liberal septuagenarians gave it their best try
To enthrone their church of rupture, free from all tradition
But instead the internet frustrated their ambition.
I'm a major critic of Cardinal Dolan, but in this circumstance he did something good. Now if he'd take the (good) comments he made about the African Bishops and put them into practice himself, we'd be good.
