Here is Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York speaking candidly to Diana Williams of WABC-TV on her popular Sunday morning "Up Close" program.  Their wide-ranging discussion included the archbishop fielding questions on, among other things, whether to deny Catholic politicians Communion based on their political views on issues like abortion, and the admission of gay men to seminaries.  This is the second of the web-based version of the program that ran this morning, and which you can see in its entirety here.  Full disclosure: I'm a big Dolan fan.

Against the backdrop of deep differences with the Trump administration over migration and foreign aid as well as concerns for Ukraine and for Gaza, the Vatican secretary of state welcomed U.S. Vice President JD Vance to the Vatican.
Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, attended the liturgy with his wife, Usha, a practicing Hindu, and his three children after meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni earlier in the day.
My Catholic identity and my wife’s Protestant identity continue to endure, and our faith has developed together in greater harmony, knowing that our love for each other was ultimately grounded in our love for God.
