On whether homosexuality played a role in the church's sex abuse crisis: "I don't think that's the sole root of it." And a generous concession to atheists as the lowest rung of moral decency: "I don't care if you have no faith. You know that that is vicious, that's diabolical. You don't do it."

I know Tony Soprano lived in a fictional world of fubar morality and had a difficult relationship with his mother. Maybe Dolan has a lot in common with him, too?
