To the Editor:
I would like to refer to Cardinal Dolan’s “Lord, To Whom Shall We Go?” column in the July 10 issue.
In the 1980s, I was working at a psychiatric center helping the emotionally disabled in the rehabilitation department. During a lunch break, I expressed my view to my co-workers as to the care and treatment of the disabled. One of my co-workers said to me, “You must be Catholic.” I looked at her; her gaze was benevolent. She said, “My husband is Catholic, and he speaks like that.”
Cardinal Dolan “smiled in relief” when he learned that the FFRF’s anti-Catholic ad was printed in The New York Times. To some people it might seem unique when someone welcomes insult, insensitivity and intolerance, i.e., when “he speaks like that.” However, it has been granted to Catholics the privilege to seek the lowest place in this world, and then to wait with boundless confidence for the Master to act.
