On June 19, 2001, Dolan was appointedauxiliary bishopof the Archdiocese of St. Louis andTitular BishopofNatchesiumbyPope John Paul II.He received hisepiscopal consecrationon August 15, 2001, from ArchbishopJustin Rigali,with BishopJoseph NaumannandMichael Sheridanserving asco-consecrators.Dolan chose as his episcopalmotto:Ad Quem Ibimus,meaning, "Lord, To Whom Shall We Go?" (John 6:68).

Archbishop of Milwaukee

On June 25, 2002, Dolan was named the tenth Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.He wasinstalledat theCathedral of St. John the Evangelistin Milwaukee on August 28, 2002. Dolan said he was challenged and haunted by thesexual abuse scandal in that diocese,which broke during his tenure.According toWTAQnews, "An attorney says at least 8,000 kids were sexually abused by over 100 priests and other offenders in the Milwaukee Catholic Diocese."

Dolan took a special interest in priests andvocations,and the number ofseminaryenrollments rose during his tenure. In an outdoor mass in September 2002, Dolan briefly wore a "cheesehead"hat in tribute to theGreen Bay Packersduring hishomily.He also wroteCalled to Be Holy(2005) andTo Whom Shall We Go? Lessons from the Apostle Peter(2008), and co-hosted a television program with his brother calledLiving Our Faith.

In June 2012 it was revealed that Dolan "authorized payments of as much as $20,000 to sexually abusive priests as an incentive for them to agree to dismissal from the priesthood when he was the archbishop of Milwaukee" and that "the archdiocese did make such payments..., thereby allowing the church to remove them from the payroll."

Dolan's coat of arms

On February 23, 2009, Dolan was appointed the tenth archbishop of the Archdiocese of New York byPope Benedict XVI.The nation's second-largest archdiocese (after theRoman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles), it serves over 2.5 million Roman Catholics.He succeeded CardinalEdward Egan,who reached the mandatory retirement age of 75 in 2007. According to Dolan, he was informed of his appointment "nine, ten days" prior to the official announcement.Recalling the phone call he received fromApostolic NuncioPietro Sambi,as opposed to his appointments as Auxiliary Roman Catholic Bishop of St. Louis and Archbishop of Milwaukee when Dolan was told that the Pope (John Paul II) "would like [him] to" take the posts, he said that Sambi "was quite factual" in that he told him that "the Pope (Benedict XVI) had appointed [him]" to New York, giving Dolan little choice other than to accept.

Before Dolan's appointment, his name had been repeatedly mentioned as a possible successor to Egan,but he downplayed such speculation, saying, "Anytime there's kind of a majorseethat opens, what have we seen with Washington, Baltimore, Detroit, now New York, my name for some reason comes up. I'm flattered. "John L. Allen Jr.,Vatican correspondent for theNational Catholic Reporter,has noted that Pope Benedict's appointment of Dolan, like those ofDonald Wuerl,Edwin O'Brien, andDennis Schnurr,follows a pattern of choosing prelates "who are basically conservative in both their politics and their theology, but also upbeat, pastoral figures given to dialogue."

Dolan pledged to challenge anti-Catholic sentiment, especially claims that the Church is unenlightened because it opposessame-sex marriageand abortion rights for women. He hoped to build confidence among people affected by the sexual abuse scandals, which he described as "a continuing source of shame".

In 2003, Dolan was admitted to theOrder of Maltawith the rank of Grand Cross Conventual Chaplainad honorem.Since 2009 he has served as chief chaplain of the American Association of the Order of Malta. In 2012 he was promoted to the rank (reserved for cardinals) of Bailiff Grand Cross of Honour and Devotion.

Dolan was formally installed as Archbishop of New York atSt. Patrick's Cathedralon April 15, 2009. He wore thepectoral crossused by his 19th-century predecessor, ArchbishopJohn Hughes.In attendance were eleven cardinals and several New York elected officials.He received thepallium,avestmentworn bymetropolitan bishops,from Pope Benedict XVI on June 29, 2009, in a ceremony atSt. Peter's Basilica.

Soon after his arrival in New York, Dolan oversaw a widely consultative pair of "strategic planning" processes, examining the archdiocese's hundreds of grade schools ( "Pathways to Excellence", 2009–2013) and parishes ( "Making All Things New", 2010–2015). Ultimately, Dolan announced that dozens of underutilized schools and parishes would close or merge with others in their neighborhoods, due to decades-long trends of shifting populations, increasing expenses, declining attendance, and decreasing clergy.

Dolan served as chairman of the board of directors ofCatholic Relief Services,in which capacity he visited Ethiopia and India,until his election as president of theU.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops,and he remains a member of theBoard of Trustees of The Catholic University of America.Within the Conference of Bishops, he chairs the Priestly Life and Ministry Committee and sits on the Subcommittee on the Church in Africa. In November 2007, he lost the election forVice Presidentof the Conference, being defeated by BishopGerald Kicanasby a margin of 22 votes.

Dolan was the apostolic visitor to Irish seminaries as part of theApostolic visitation to Irelandfollowing the 2009 publication of the Ryan andMurphy Reportson sexual abuse. Dolan was part of a team that included CardinalCormac Murphy-O'Connor,archbishop emeritus of Westminster; CardinalSeán Patrick O'Malleyof Boston; Toronto's ArchbishopThomas Christopher Collins;and Ottawa's ArchbishopTerrence Prendergast.They reported their findings to Pope Benedict XVI in 2012.

On January 5, 2011, Dolan was appointed among the first members of the newly createdPontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization.

On December 11, 2011, he was awarded the rank of Knight Grand Cross of theOrder of Saints Maurice and LazarusbyVictor Emmanuel, Prince of Naples.

From 2011 to 2012, Dolan led a root-and-branch review of all structures and processes at thePontifical Irish Collegein Rome. His report was highly critical of the college, as a result of which three Irish members of the staff were sent home and a fourth resigned. Four Irish archbishops, CardinalSeán Brady,Archbishop of Armagh; the Archbishop of Dublin,Diarmuid Martin;the Archbishop of Tuam,Michael Neary;and the Archbishop of Cashel,Dermot Clifford,were sent a copy of the visitation report by the Vatican. A response prepared for them said "a deep prejudice appears to have coloured the visitation and from the outset it led to the hostile tone and content of the report".The report said "a disturbingly significant number of seminarians gave a negative assessment of the atmosphere of the house". Staff, it added, were "critical about any emphasis on Rome, tradition, the magisterium, piety or assertive orthodoxy, while the students are enthusiastic about these features". A change in the staff was recommended. Elsewhere the report said: "The apostolic visitor noted, and heard from students, an 'anti-ecclesial bias' in theological formation."

On December 29, 2011, Dolan was appointed a member of thePontifical Council for Social Communicationsfor a five-year renewable term.On April 21, 2011, he was appointed a member of theCongregation for the Oriental Churches.

In 2012, Dolan expressed his public disappointment in thecontraceptive mandatepromulgated by the administration of PresidentBarack Obama.In a televisedCBSinterview, Dolan condemned what was, in his view, government interference that dismissed the right to religious conscience and religious freedom regarding the mandatory compulsion of religious groups and organizations to provideabortifacientdrugs andcontraceptioninsurance coverage to its employees, despite those items being against the moral tenets of theRoman Catholicfaith.After the rule was revised by the Obama administration, Dolan said the "first decision was a terribly misguided judgment" and said the new rule was "a first step".

On January 24, 2012, Dolan went on a religious pilgrimage toIsraeland theWest Bank,where he met the thenLatin Patriarch of Jerusalem,Fouad Twal.

On November 30, 2013, Pope Francis named Dolan a member of theCongregation for Catholic Education.

On September 3, 2014, Dolan denied requests by theDiocese of Peoriato receive the remains of ArchbishopFulton Sheen,who was entombed in St. Patrick's Cathedral, renewing the historical controversy over Sheen's body and effectively suspending Sheen's cause for sainthood.On November 17, 2016, Judge Arlene Bluth of theNew York State Supreme Courtordered Sheen's remains transferred from St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York to St. Mary's Cathedral inPeoria, Illinois.

On September 13, 2014, Dolan was appointed a member of theCongregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.

On November 2, 2015, theAmerican Jewish Committee(AJC) presented its Isaiah Award for Exemplary Interreligious Leadership to Dolan in recognition of "his steadfast contribution and ongoing commitment to the relationship between our respective faiths".

At theinauguration of President Trumpon January 20, 2017, Dolan gave the first benediction. His invocation involved a recitation ofKing Solomon'sprayer from theBook of Wisdom.

Dolan completed a pilgrimage to theKnock Shrinein Ireland in 2015. On May 13, 2017, he celebrated arequiemmass when John Curry, the youngest witness to the Knock apparition, was reinterred inSt. Patrick's Old Cathedralcemetery inLower Manhattanafter being disinterred from an unmarked grave onLong Island.

Dolan was elected on November 16, 2010, to the presidency of theUnited States Conference of Catholic Bishops(USCCB) becoming the first New York bishop to attain the post. Dolan replacedCardinal Francis George,who did not run for re-election. In a vote of 128–111, Dolan beat out nine others, includingBishop Gerald Kicanasof Tucson, Arizona, to win the three-year term.Dolan took office two days later and served until November 12, 2013.

Cardinal

On January 6, 2012,Pope Benedict XVIannounced that Dolan would be created acardinalat theconsistoryheld on February 18, 2012.Archbishop Dolan was elevated to the rank of cardinal by Pope Benedict on February 18, 2012.The day prior, he addressed the pope and the College of Cardinals on spreading the faith in a secularized world.He was createdCardinal PriestofNostra Signora di Guadalupe a Monte Mario.He was the first Archbishop of New York since 1946 not to receive thetitular churchofSanti Giovanni e Paolo,as that title was still being held by his predecessor Cardinal Egan.

After Benedict XVI announced his retirement due to ill health, effective February 28, 2013, Dolan was named in the press as apapabile,a plausible successor for election to the papacy.However, on March 13, 2013, the conclave instead elected CardinalJorge Mario Bergoglio,who took the namePope Francis.

Views

Race and police issues

On June 2, 2020, Cardinal Dolan spoke on his podcast regarding the protests and police action following the murders ofGeorge FloydandAhmaud Arbery,and theshooting of Breonna Taylor.In this podcast interview, he attempted to speak to both protesters and police.He argued that police were mostly good people and compared them to priests. He also said that the protesters had an important message. He said thatblack lives matter,bracketing the statement before and after with "all lives matter"and" police lives matter. "

In a June 28, 2020Wall Street Journalopinion piece, Dolan argued against removing statues of historical figures because they had upheld slavery or owned slaves, stating "If we only honor perfect, saintly people of the past, I guess I'm left with only the cross. And some people would ban that."This followed weeks of protests in which monuments commemorating figures that the protesters associated with slavery and colonialism had beenremoved by protestors and civic leaders.

In an opinion piece for theNew York Postpublished on July 1, 2020, Dolan called for an end to the demonization of theNew York City Police Department.He said that "the most stinging rebuke" of the murder of George Floyd by a policeman inMinneapolis"comes from – guess who? The cops I chat with on the sidewalks of New York." He wrote that "in a recent meeting with community activists, one black leader reminded us, 'Don't give me this" get-rid-of-the-cops "rant! You on Madison Avenue or Park Avenue might not need the police. We up in The Bronx sure do!'"

Abortion and LGBT issues

In November 2009, Dolan signed an ecumenical statement known as theManhattan Declaration,calling on evangelicals, Roman Catholics and Orthodox not to comply with rules and laws permittingabortion,same-sex marriageand other matters that go against their religious consciences. It calls for civil disobedience from Christian officials and laymen on these issues.

In October 2017, Auxiliary BishopJohn O'Haraintervened on behalf of Dolan to prohibit a New York parish church from hosting the International Human Rights Art Festival because of its gay and transgender content. The director of the festival declined to remove the two performances that the Archdiocese specifically objected to, and instead moved the entire show to an Episcopal church in Brooklyn.

In June of 2023Outreach Catholic,an LGBT Catholic advocacy group, held a meeting atFordham University.Prior to the meeting Dolan sent a letter toFr. James Martinstating "It is the sacred duty of the Church and Her ministers to reach out to those on the periphery and draw them to a closer relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. Your vital and important ministry is a valuable and necessary contribution to that effort."

War and capital punishment

While noting that the "Church has weighed in" against thewar in Iraqandcapital punishment,Dolan defended his silence regarding PresidentGeorge W. Bush's 2001 appearance at Notre Dame by saying, "Where President Bush would have taken positions on those two hot-button issues that I'd be uncomfortable with, namely the war and capital punishment, I would have to give him the benefit of the doubt to say that those two issues are open to some discussion and are not intrinsically evil. In the Catholic mindset that would not apply to abortion."

Sexual abuse scandal

In 2002, the St. Louis archbishop assigned Dolan to investigateRoman Catholic priests accused of sexual misconductin the archdiocese. During the investigation, Dolan spoke with parishes, victims, and the media about the scandals, and invited victims of clerical abuse to come forward.Commenting on his meetings with them, Dolan said "it is impossible to exaggerate the gravity of the situation, and the suffering that victims feel, because I've spent the last four months being with them, crying with them, having them express their anger to me."Dolan dismissed abusive priests, which earned him the ire of some St. Louis parishioners who remained loyal to their dismissed priests and referred to Dolan's investigation as a "witch hunt".

In a 2003 letter to CardinalJoseph Ratzinger,requesting that the Vatican process be expedited for thelaicizationof priests who he believed were "remorseless and a serious risk to children", Dolan wrote: "As victims organize and become more public, the potential for true scandal is very real."In May 2012,The New York Timesrevealed that the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, then headed by Dolan, had paid some abusive priests – although already dismissed from their priestly duties – up to $20,000 to leave the priesthood immediately rather than force the church to initiate time-consuming and expensive laicization proceedings against them.The archdiocese noted that the "unassignable priests" were still receiving full salaries and would continue to do so until they were formally laicized;and that the payouts were a "motivation" so that the priests would not contest being defrocked. TheSurvivors Network of those Abused by Priestssent a formal protest asking, "In what other occupation, especially one working with families and operating schools and youth programs, is an employee given a cash bonus for raping and sexually assaulting children?"Dolan had previously responded to accusations that he had given "payoffs" to accused priests as "false, preposterous and unjust".

In 2011, Dolan thanked the head of theCatholic League,Bill Donohue,for a press release, reproduced on the Archdiocese of New York website, in which Donohue referred to the non-profit support group Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests as a "phony victims' group".

In July 2013, documents made public during bankruptcy proceedings for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee showed that Dolan had sought permission to move $57 million in church funds to prevent them from being accessed by victims of clerical abuse. In a 2007 letter to theVaticanrequesting permission to move the funds, Dolan wrote "By transferring these assets to the trust, I foresee an improved protection of these funds from any legal claim and liability."Dolan had previously denied that he tried to shield assets from child sex abuse victims claiming compensation, calling the accusations "old and discredited" and "malarkey."The Vatican approved the request in five weeks.

In 2018 after thePennsylvania reportand theMcCarrick scandal,a CNN interviewer asked Dolan whether homosexuality was a cause of the abuse. He answered: "I don't think that's the sole root of it. The sole root of it is a lack of chastity, a lack of virtue. This isn't about right or left. This isn't about gay or straight. This is about right and wrong."

In 2019, Dolan was reported to have received, together with other influential U.S. Catholic leaders, substantial monetary gifts from West Virginia bishopMichael J. Bransfield,who had resigned following allegations of sexual misconduct. Bransfield's diocese had reimbursed him for the gifts. Although Dolan did not reply to a request for comment, other bishops reported that they did not know that Bransfield had been reimbursed by the diocese or that he was accused of sexual misconduct at the time that they received the gifts, and that they had returned the funds or given them to charity.

Terrorism

Dolan visitedGround Zero,the site of theSeptember 11 attacks,the week after his installation as Archbishop of New York.After reciting the same prayer used by Benedict XVI during his visit to the United States, Dolan remarked, "We'll never stop crying. But it's also about September 12th and all the renewal and rebuilding and hope and solidarity and compassion that symbolizes this great community and still does."

Letter to all cardinals

In July 2020, conservative authorGeorge Weigel's bookThe Next Pope: The Office of Peter and a Church in Missionwas sent to all 222 cardinals with an accompanying letter from Cardinal Dolan stating: "I am grateful toIgnatius Pressfor making this important reflection on the future of the Church available to the College of Cardinals. "Some cardinalssaw this as a violationof the 1996 apostolic constitutionUniversi Dominici gregisin which Pope John Paul II "forbid(s) anyone, even if he is a Cardinal, during the Pope's lifetime and without having consulted him, to make plans concerning the election of his successor." Dolan had earlier been critical of the way Pope Francis had organized the 2015Synod on the Family.Weigel replied that his book

"...does not contain a single sentence about a future conclave. No potential candidates are named and no conclave strategy is discussed. The book is a reflection on the future of the Office of Peter in what Pope Francis has called a Church 'permanently in mission'. Period."
