Yes he’s right – Mamdani dissing Catholics. Get used to it.
Cardinal Dolan on Mayor Mamdani skipping Catholic events: ‘I was ticked off’
Cardinal Timothy Dolan said he was “ticked off” that Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani did not invite him to his January inauguration or attend the installation Mass of the city’s new archbishop, but the cardinal also credited the mayor’s openness to immigrants and desire for fair housing.
Speaking in a Feb. 19 interview with EWTN, the retired archbishop of New York said Mamdani’s absence from the Jan. 1 inauguration and from the Feb. 6 installation of Archbishop Ronald Hicks at St. Patrick’s Cathedral broke with longstanding civic custom.
“I was ticked off he didn’t invite me to his inauguration,” Cardinal Dolan said. “Most of the time the archbishop of New York, among other religious leaders, gets invited.”
He added that he was “really ticked off” that Mamdani did not attend Archbishop Hicks’ installation. That too was a departure from precedent, Dolan said.
“That defied precedent, the mayor not showing up to the installation,” he said. “One of the many things I love about New York is the amity among the different religions. We all get together. We all enjoy one another. The ecumenical and interfaith health of this city is phenomenal.”
