In Rome, Vatican watchers like to say that the institutional Catholic
Church measures time not with a clock, but with a calendar, and that its
memory is as durable as the records in its archives, where Galileo's
signature, preserved in the documents from his famous trial, looks like
it was penned yesterday.
In America the one institution that might match the Vatican when it comes to memory and deliberative care is our system of justice where, according to the reliable cliché, the wheels grind slowly. But grind they do and they are gradually revealing the character behind the façade of New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan's hearty smile and twinkling eyes.
