On the recordJuly 23, 2007
I rise in support of H. Resolution 345 honoring the 200th anniversary of the Archdiocese of New York. It was somewhat of a bumpy road to arrive at today's vote. We are nevertheless here to honor the Archdiocese of New York. Initially the committee balked because of the reference to Cardinal Egan. And on a personal level, I thought it was insulting to the cardinal and professionally, by extension, I thought it was insulting to the millions of Catholics who comprise the archdiocese. Cardinal Egan is the head of the archdiocese and is a significant spiritual leader of Catholicism in the United States and a man of great integrity and honor. Like those who have come before him, Cardinal Egan has carried forward the mission of his Catholic Church and helped to provide spiritual guidance to millions.
