Cardinal Dolan shares his thoughts on selection of new pope



VATICAN CITY (WITI) -- Cardinal Timothy Dolan is excited about the naming of the new pope -- and what it means for the Roman Catholic church.

Cardinal Dolan told reporters on Wednesday evening, that the word Catholic means everybody, all-embracing. He talked about the universal nature of the choice of Jorge Bergoglio as pope. Dolan says Pope Francis will energize the Catholic church throughout Latin America.

Cardinal Dolan also said that even though nationality and geography is important, most Cardinals simply wanted to pick the right man. He says you want a man of God, a man of good pastoral governance, a man with a sense of the church universal, and a good communicator.
