text: MSW - here is what you posted yesterday:
  "At Commonweal, John Gehring is upset that the Al Smith dinner is going ahead as planned, with Donald Trump in attendance. I sympathize but, in the final analysis, I do not want bishops deciding to favor one candidate over another because that usurps the role of the laity. For all his flaws, and they are many, we cannot ignore that Clinton defends a legal regime that has resulted in millions of abortions. If New York is going to host the Al Snith dinner, they should invariably invite both candidates. Exceptions? No Holocaust deniers. So, Gehring gets my sympathy but not my agreement"
  Today - "That discussion will only intensify given Trump's performance. As a general rule, however, if we are going to invite the nominees of the major parties, we are going to invite them. Short of Holocaust denial, I can't really think there is anything that would warrant rescinding that invitation."
  We disagree - Dolan and MSW failed - surprised, really?
