NY Archbishop Timothy Dolan Visits Scandalized Capitol

On his first trip to the state’s scandal-scarred Capitol, New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan had a message that government isn’t the savior for society’s ills.

Dolan says the scandals show people must look for answers spiritually, not through government.

It’s the first visit to Albany by a New York archbishop in 12 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.

He is being investigated for contact with a woman who had accused a top aide of domestic violence and of breaking a state gift ban.

  1. Fed up with NY leadership says:

    Archbishop Dolan, no kidding, the state government is the primary example of what not to do. Remember, nobody is totally useless they can be used as a bacd example. State Assemblyman Felix Ortiz is prime example of this.

    Patterson is no better then the common criminal with a gun, except he does it with a pen just like most of them do. Maybe greed should not be the focal point of government and religion.
