William Lindsey :toad:"His presence at the Al Smith dinner last night turned the event itself into kabuki theater, in which everyone participating pretended that the man who attempted a coup, says he wants to be a dictator, calls his opponents 'vermin' and 'the enemy within,' and has raised the possibility of using the military against American citizens is normal."<a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/CardinalDolan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CardinalDolan</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Catholic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Catholic</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/AlSmith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlSmith</a> /5<a href="https://www.thebulwark.com/p/against-kabuki-normality" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.thebulwark.com/p/against-kabuki-normality</a>

William Lindsey :toad:"When the scandal hit there, Dolan transferred $57 million worth of assets off the archdiocese’s books and into a cemetery trust fund where it would be sheltered from the lawsuits coming down the tracks. …So it couldn’t have been a surprise when Dolan sat next to El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago, yucking it up as the adjudicated criminal dropped a multi-megaton bomb at the Al Smith Dinner in New York."<a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/CardinalDolan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CardinalDolan</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Catholic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Catholic</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/AlSmith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlSmith</a> /3

William Lindsey :toad:"As a parish priest at the Church of the Immaculata outside St, Louis, he shared a pulpit with Fr. LeRoy Valentine, who is alleged to have abused boys for years before the Church took any action at all, shining on survivors who came to it.

William Lindsey :toad:"Of all the American princes of the Church, outside of that ridiculous popinjay Raymond Burke, Dolan is among the most insufferable.
