Do you think Mars could ask his bestie if the Cardinal will be in Rome whilst we are there and wants to give a super adorable little boy from Buffalo his First Communion? He could hook us up, right?<br /><br />Also, hope everyone is better stat. I've always let the fevers do their thing (unless it was night time and it was disrupting sleep or too high) and it seems to fight the sickness quicker.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I LOVE reading what you write. It's been fun to do a one sided "catch up" back from the days of the Young Adult group at SJN. Chad laughs at me because I'm always saying "listen to what Mary wrote"! You crack me up. I love hearing about your faith, your boys, and your marriage. Keep up the great work!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108508395713687660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7902332526058821592.post-44399811539152592272014-03-14T08:32:21.861-07:002014-03-14T08:32:21.861-07:00I really do love Cardinal Dolan as himself!

I also worry for him since he is mega social and does like finer things. I can't fault him for it, but it scares me. I love his response to Pope Francis because it is very humble.

I actually completely know what you mean. Th...lol! I actually completely know what you mean. The 'celebrity' of it all is a very dangerous thing when not handled correctly. Funny enough, both with father Maciel and Father Corapi, I felt the same way. I don't feel that way with Dolan though. When I read/watch/listen to him, it seems he is still aware he is very much a work in progress. I think if you know that, you are okay. One of my favorite things he said was he is learning from the example of pope francis. He was talking about all his handlers, and people who open doors for him, and how NYC treats him...and sometimes how he forgets he is suppose to witness humility, and it's a good reminder for him. Anyway. Feel ya, but don't feel the same.

Such a bum-bumm...I'm sorry your babies are ill! Such a bum-bummer. Boo-hiss. Can I tell you something? I even put it on my QT. I love Cardinal Dolan, but I am turned off by what a celebrity he is. Am I the worst? It's the Holy People as Celebrity thing. I was at a Regnum Christi conference once when Fr. Maciel showed up and the throngs of young people throwing themselves at him made my stomach turn. And then look what happened. It was the same way with Fr. Corapi. It's why I love how Pope Francis is always asking for prayers and saying how he has to do things his way because he's not good on his own, and how he's open about being a sinner. I get nervous that Cardinal Dolan seems so comfortable with all the attention. Am I going to hell?Barbara Frymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314675308924356976noreply@blogger.com
