Of faith and bratwurst

By the time I got to the opening line of the second paragraph of today's New York Times story on Archbishop Timothy Dolan's first Sunday homily at St. Patrick's Cathedral, I was annoyed.

"His first homily adhered closely to Roman Catholic doctrine," the article stated. Well, there's a news flash that required the deep insight that only the Times could bring us. I believe my exact reaction was, "Whatever," sounding more like a character from the Hannah Montana Disney series than a Catholic journalist, but that's what this type of reporting drives me to.

I had almost forgotten about the story when I happened upon Amy Welborn's post today. It is so worth heading over to Via Media by clicking HERE to get her full and funny take on the report. So go there now. Just be sure you read all the way to "bratwurst."
