I hope it’s clear that for me, from the biographical point of view, my Catholic upbringing, the Catholic ethos, the Catholic chemistry, whatever you want to call it, has given meaning, purpose, and direction to my life. It’s the pearl of great price. It has given me a worldview, a sense of joy and direction, and an excitement about life. In my mind, it’s the healthiest, happiest way to live.
— Archbishop Timothy Dolan (New York)
