'Dolan Effect' Evident in USCCB Voting

Contact: Press Office, The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, 212-371-3191, pr@catholicleague.org

 

NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2013 /Standard Newswire/ -- Bill Donohue comments on the election of the new president and vice president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB):

 

The influence of Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who ably led the USCCB for the past three years, is not over: his commanding presence helped to shape the selection of Archbishop Joseph Kurtz as the new president, and Cardinal Daniel DiNardo as the new vice president. The "Dolan Effect" was palpable, and will be felt for years.

It is plain for everyone to see that the bishops will not walk away from the fight for religious liberty, a battle thrust upon them by the Obama administration. They must also deal with the effects of public policy decisions that have done more to punish the poor, and promote inequality, than any previous administration. But with the leadership of Archbishop Kurtz, and Cardinal DiNardo, the ratification of the "Dolan Effect" is assured, and so, too, is progress. This bodes well for everyone.
