Timothy M. Dolan was installed as Archbishop of New York yesterday afternoon. I had live footage playing during my Religious Geography class, which started at 2 (on mute); it took most of the class just for all the bishops to finish processing in! Dolan signaled in his homily that he's going to continue the tradition, begun by Archbishop Fulton Sheen in the 50s and continued by Cardinal O'Connor in the 80s, of being a vocal and visible voice for Roman Catholicism in America. As Governor Paterson reintroduces gay marriage legislation, here come the culture wars again!
