The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel<\/em> Web site ran this atop its home page this weekend:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Cardinal Timothy Dolan, former Milwaukee archbishop, calls slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk a ‘modern-day St. Paul’<\/a><\/p>\n

As any fule kno, or as anyone who is either Catholic or reads First Things<\/em> and New Oxford Review<\/em> can tell you, the title goes before the last name in the Catholic church offices. Timothy Cardinal<\/em> Dolan.<\/p>\n
