From Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York:
This, coming from the man who has been, as much as anyone besides the former pope, the face of the "caricature."
The fact of the matter is that Francis hasn't changed anything of substance: the Church's teachings on gays, birth control, women, and on down the line remain the same. And he's given no indication that there will be a change in Church doctrine in those areas.
It's called "putting lipstick on a pig."
"This pope has successfully, finally shattered the caricature of the church that his predecessors have tried hard to do," Dolan said on ABC's "This Week." "What's that caricature? That the church is kind of mean and dour and always saying no and always telling us what we can't do and always telling us why we should be excluded. He's saying, no, come on in, the church is about warmth and tenderness."
