Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan, who heads
the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said in an interview with The
Associated Press that he trusted Obama wasn't anti-religious and
intended to make good on his pledge to work with religious groups to
fine-tune the mandate.
"I want to take him at his word," Dolan said
in Rome, where he will be made a cardinal Saturday. But he stressed: "I
do have to say it's getting harder and harder," to believe Obama's
claim to prioritize religious freedom issues given the latest
controversy.
