It's not easy being king...er, his eminence. The Gotham Empire is a big, smug, indifferent. Cardinal first and God can find a lower place. The Roman Catholic Church has rested on its self-defined laurels and is now in decline almost everywhere. Cardinal Timothy Cardinal Michael Cardinal Dolan has mighty little pastoral expertise as a golden boy from seminary days on. He trades in horseplay, jocularity and goofing around. He comes across as a lightweight with past papal patrons, but not much now. He's days shy of 67, so he has a long way to go.
