text: Noteworthy to mention how ecumenical archdiocese of NY has become with Dolan receiving an award from Mormons, a group in which perhaps their common link is preserving patriarchy.  The truly visionary NY priest, George Ford, in the name of his parish sent (1942) flowers to  neighbor, Riverside Church, on anniversary of their founding.  He was excoriated by archdiocese, accused of "communicatio in sacris." Ford was ecumenical before the word had currency. Google him for extraordinary pre-Vatican vision. Hounded by the archdiocese for catholic outreach, never made a monsignor when they were a dime a dozen.  Most respected NY priest, embraced ecumenically by all NY communities. Ford was relentlessly persecuted by his own church for an unmatchable vision in word and deed. Dolan isn't near the visionary, by a long shot. Can't hold a candle to George Ford.
