A Cheerleader for New York

Timothy Dolan is a champion for New York.

Even though he grew up in St. Louis, he now heads New York as its archbishop, and, will be elevated to cardinal Saturday.

Reports claim that he was asked to speak Saturday in Rome on the topic of evangelization.

Dolan wants to rebut his City's image as mired in sin, he said.

This fiesty follower of Jesus was at the Vatican early this week, welcoming pilgrims to the roof of the Pontifical North American College, a stone's throw from the headquarters of the Catolic Church.

On his head was a New York Giants Super Bowl victory cap. He was also wearing a New York Police Department windbreaker.

A cheerleader for New York, Dolan is an assertive and loyal son of the Church who speaks up.

I always appreciate his willingness to engage in a conversation, and, to get the job done, whatever that may happen to be.

As president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Dolan wants to continue to call the church to reform, and to bring people closer to Jesus. He protests any semblance of being a gate keeping people from God.

Unafraid to speak the truth to power, New York's leading cheerleader in the faith, is an asset to the people and pilgrims who support this effective churchman.
