1. Catholics are about the last people who need to be telling anybody where to conduct their services.

5. They don't want a community center within 2 blocks of ground zero, I don't want

Catholic churches within a certain area around schools, playgrounds, and other places kids are likely to congregate.

7. Somehow I don't see him as being an "honest broker"...

from the article:
"Since the controversy began in the spring, the archbishop has condemned prejudice against Muslims. But in July, the church backed away from a plan to sell a vacant convent on Staten Island to a Muslim group that planned to turn it into a mosque. A Catholic parish there had agreed to sell the building, but after strong local protests, the pastor decided to pull out of the deal and the parish board — which includes Archbishop Dolan — agreed. "

10. Huh? n/t

11. Oooh a thread for the expression of equal opportunity bigotry.

Everyone against the eyesore mosque is a bigot. Everyone for it is good and kind and will go directly to heaven when the time comes.

Y'all really need to start doing some fact checking. See just what kind of wagon you're hitched to.

12. You want to spell out your "issue" here? Cause it sure seems like pure bigotry.
