HICKSVILLE, NY (AP) - New York's Cardinal Timothy Dolan is urging Roman Catholics to get more involved inpolitics as the church stands against the government in what he calls a "freedom of religion battle."
At a weekend event on Long Island, Dolan called President Barack Obama's contraceptive coverage mandate "an unwarranted, unprecedented radical intrusion." He told the crowd they "live in an era that seems to discover new rights every day."
