| | Headlines Cardinal Dolan and the St Patrick's Day Parade - Blurring the Boundaries By Deal W. Hudson | September 8, 2014 Cardinal Dolan has made a prudential judgment which can be legitimately and respectfully criticized by Catholics, whether lay or religious. In other words, his decision to remain Grand Marshall of the St. Patrick's Day Parade cannot be construed as a "teaching" based upon the Church's settled issues of faith and morals, which it is his job as a bishop to uphold.

It also misses the existential purpose of human life. It reduces our Divine call and human vocation - to be in communion with God- which is the heart of the Christian faith - to one more consumer selection among many in a growing smorgasbord of modern materialist/consumerist lifestyles.

Whenever a child is baptized, he becomes a son of the Church, from that day, he is in the Church which cares for him as a caring mother, she makes us grow in faith and shows us, with the power of the Word of God, the way of salvation, defending us from evil.
