Can Cardinal Timothy Dolan be Gotham’s peacemaker?

Interfaith room.

David Gibson

NEW YORK (RNS) To much of the country, Cardinal Timothy Dolan has been the conservative face of the American hierarchy, the happy warrior with a big pulpit who led the American bishops during their toughest battles with the Obama administration over contraception policies and gay rights.

But in his own backyard, the current archbishop of New York is much more of a mediating figure, seen as a community leader as well as a churchman. In recent weeks, he’s increasingly stepped up to help ease the festering racial and political tensions between the police and the people, and even between the police and Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Me either, but he certainly may be able to quiet things.

Meant in a charitable manner, of course.
