Archbishop Dolan says losing track of pedophile priest was a "mistake"

Actually, Dolan had nothing to say about the case of Franklyn Becker (Brawler covered here) in his appearance on Charlie Sykes' Sunday Incite. Nor did he comment on his refusal to release records of more than 40 priests credibly accused of sexual misconduct.

Maybe these were covered when Dolan said some issues caused him "heartburn."

The well-fed Dolan did, of course, say it was a mistake that Notre Dame invited Obama -- who received a majority of Catholic votes in 2008 -- as a graduation speaker. It is not clear whether Dolan opposed George Bush's 2001 appearance at Notre Dame given his enthusiastic support -- and enforcement of -- the death penalty as governor of  Texas.

The second-biggest biggest laugh of the interview comes when the thrice-married, warmongering Sykes (is he Catholic?) asked Dolan a question about "cafeteria Catholics." The biggest laugh is when Dolan said he wasn't a politician (I paraphrase). As if Sunday Incite were a general audience program and appearing on it not implicitly political.
