In response to the 2012 Al Smith Dinner controversy, an Archdiocese of New York official, Ed Mechmann, has posted a blog entry titled "Controversies and Dinners," asserting:
(Sigh.) And the beat goes on.

Interestingly, as John-Henry Westen of LifeSiteNews.com points out:
Mechmann writes, "When everyone wakes up the morning after, the struggle will resume."

Ah, but dare I ask: Will the president respect us Catholics in the morning (after)?

You know the answer.

Gosh, at this point, the least the Al Smith Dinner officials can do is serve Chick-fil-A as the event's main meal, no? I think it would send a good message to both the president and Mitt Romney.
