I just have to love a Cardinal that does this. Though I am sending my sidekick application in since surely a superhero can use a sidekick and one that provides comic relief. Though considering Cardinal Dolan’s good humor and wit it would be pretty hard to provide any comic relief that he is not supplying himself.
Hat tip Whispers in the Loggia where you can download a much larger image along with the text of his Commencement Address at the Catholic University of America.

ah, your (video/picture) link appears busted. there is a broken link icon in a long rectangle
Sorry, but I believe the sidekick ought to be a deacon.
Ah is that Timothy M. Dolan? The one who called Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP) a “phony victims’ group.”? The one who wanted to stop “The Child Victims Act” which would extend the statute of limitations for sex crimes against children?
See Church’s lawyers plan is to try and run out the clock, either via statue of limitations in the new cases or victims losing their memory / dying in the older ones.
Because that’s what Jesus would do!
Pesky laws like that would scotch those plans and wouldn’t that be a shame? Victims getting justice? The guilty punished? The truth exposed? Oh no, no, we can’t have that! It might upset your chances for getting into Heaven or in the more material world expose the Vatican for what it truly is.
So, a superhero? Really?
I would say super-villain but Dr Doom, Lex Luthor and the rest never helped child rapists so that wouldn’t fit either.
Monster. Yes, that would do nicely, a monster.
I love this picture! But can he fly south for the winter?
