Cardinal Timothy Dolan is chastising Harris for skipping his stupid dinner while praising Trump for attending it, and also letting Trump proclaim that Harris hates Catholics. Catholic "intellectual" Brian Browne even said that this is an insult to Catholic voters, while Trump said that Catholic voters who support her “should have their head examined.”
But what is not an insult to Catholic voters is when Trump accuses Catholics of eating cats and dogs, or how they're coming from Mexico to rape and drug people or when he goes nuts about Venezuela which is also predominantly Catholic.

Quote:Cardinal Timothy Dolan said on Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris’ decision to skip the Al Smith dinner, a prominent Catholic charity event in New York, wasn’t a wise political move.
While Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said Harris’ decision to skip the dinner reveals her “anti-Catholic” sentiments, Dolan, who leads the Archdiocese of New York, blamed bad advice.
“We were looking forward to giving both candidates an enthusiastic welcome, which we always do,” Dolan said. “It’s not supposed to be a campaign, it’s kind of an evening of patriotism, joy, friendship, and unity. Well, those are values she’s been talking about, and this evening is supposed to showcase that, so we’re kind of doubly disappointed that she’s not coming.”
Trump, meanwhile, has confirmed that he will be attending the dinner.
Dolan praised Trump’s commitment to the event, saying he has been “extraordinarily good,” participating in the event every election year since 2016.
Brian Browne, an adjunct professor of political science at St. John’s University in Queens, New York, told CNA that while Harris’ decision likely won’t make much of a difference to the average Catholic voter, more engaged Catholic voters “could perceive this as a misstep or insult.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
