“Over the past . . . weeks, Americans were treated to the quadrennial spectacle of the two major political parties’ national conventions. Each party graced us with an endless parade of speakers making the very clear point that their party represents all that is good and true, while the other party would heap unmitigated disaster upon the heads of the poor, the elderly, small business owners, or any other key demographic one could imagine.
“On the final night of each convention, after the rhetoric, the biographical videos, and the applause, Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York, approached the microphone to offer his blessing and his prayer. No non-Catholic news source featured his remarks in their coverage, but his firm and clear voice delivered the most powerful words uttered at either gathering.”
In a recent commentary, writer Jason Hall reflected on the prayers that Cardinal Dolan offered at each convention and on the true good of every individual, the dignity of each and every human person, as the proper goal of every law and government policy.
