A Word from Cardinal Dolan: Slaying Dragons

By: Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan

On the feast of Saint George, Cardinal Dolan reflects on the term slaying dragons.

Saint George is always pictured slaying a dragon that represents evil. Jesus slays the dragon for us.

For the first time in centuries, Church leaders were barred from celebrating Palm Sunday Mass at one of Christianity's holiest sites.

In St. Peter's Square, the pope repeated 'King of Peace' seven times, weaving Christ's rejection of violence through each moment of the Passion.

As we celebrate Palm Sunday, we begin the Holy Week that changes everything.
