New York Adult Entertainment: NY Archbishop Dolan hits scandal-scarred Capitol
NY Archbishop Dolan hits scandal-scarred Capitol
(AP) ALBANY, N.Y. – New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan made his first trip to Albany on Tuesday and said the scandalous turmoil gripping the Capitol now, as it was two years ago, shows that government isn’t the savior.
It’s the first visit to Albany by a New York archbishop in 24 months, almost to the day when Dolan’s predecessor, Cardinal Edward Egan, was to meet with then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer. That meeting was canceled when Spitzer was named in a prostitution investigation that soon forced his resignation.
Now Gov. David Paterson faces two scandals that threaten his job.
“Somebody asked me yesterday, ‘What do you say to your people who seem dissatisfied, or scandalized by the political problems in the state of New York?’” Dolan recounted. “And I said maybe it’s teaching us-what we would feel is the fundamental issue in life-that government is not our savior. Government is not the messiah. Only God is. And so we should put our ultimate trust in God alone, and everyone else, we cut some slack.”
