Archbishop Dolan Heading To New York

[Tom Crean's Tanning Bed]

Huge loss for Milwaukee, but big gain for NY and the rest of the country.

Dolan is very deserving. He is  great guy. Any thoughts on replacement? I am predicting Fr. Hartman from Catholic Memorial.

Huge loss, but since he got here you kinda had the feeling that it was until Egan retired. He was exactly what the diocese needed after Weakland left a huge mess.

On the whole, it's a great day nationally for the Church... to have someone like him in one of the most prominent seats is outstanding.

Bob Wild for Archbishop of Milwaukee in '09!!!!

Word is that he was convinced to move to NY by Len Elmore.

I am very said to see him leave.  I had the pleasure of meeting him shortly after he arrived in Milwaukee when he said Mass at my Parish.  I walked up to him with my daughter who was 4 or 5 at the time and introduced myself and her.  He was just a genuinely nice person, regardless of his postion, who gave me the impression that he was very interested to meet us.

It will be nice to be able to still root for someone after they left for a "bigger" job!!!

Hopefully, he will make his way back for Irish Fest Mass as often as possible.  His are, by far the most enjoyable homilies I have heard there.

Living away from Milwaukee, my only experience with him has been at Irishfest.   Seems like a genuine, funny, faithful, devout person.   He has the gift.  May God's grace be upon him in his new job.

+1 to all posts.


Never had a bad experience with the Archbishop (in worship or in other situations), and wish him the best in NY!

Does anyone on here remember the story someone once posted about Dolan accepting a beer at a Marquette game that he thought someone was giving to him? I swear it was on here or RingOutAhoya. I can't seem to find it using the search engine.

It was on Dodds' board.

Someone raised their glass to say hello to him rather than waive.  Dolan thought they were offering him a beer so he grabbed it and started drinking it before they could stop him.

haha I remember that... was that cmac's story? Just classic.

I hope MU recognizes him at one of the last two games, if his schedule allows. Always loved seeing he and Fr. Wild at the games.
