By which His Eminence means, it has cowered in a little ball and said “Don’t Hurt Me.” Humanae vitae “brought such a tsunami of dissent, departure, disapproval of the church, that I think most of us—and I’m using the first-person plural intentionally, including myself—kind of subconsciously said,… Read More Cardinal Dolan: The Church Has Failed to Lead
