From Cathedral to Cable News: The Many Pulpits of Cardinal Dolan

Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York has long used his position to reach far beyond his own church. His influence stretches into politics and popular media. He speaks from the historic pulpit of St. Patrick’s Cathedral. But he is equally comfortable in the White House or on television programs like Fox News. This ability to move between religious, political, and media circles defines his public role. He uses each platform to amplify his messages. For Dolan, influence is not confined to a single space. His strategy is to inhabit many spheres of power at once.
