Yesterday Cardinal Timothy Dolan led the funeral mass for Clara Almazo, the grandmother who was killed while pushing her grandson out of the path of a speeding SUV. Dolan offered to preside over the solemn ceremony, insisting he was "moved by her selflessness."

The contrast was quite stark between mitered, satin-robed Cardinal and the indigent, immigrant mourners. After the services Dolan passed the hat, so at least they got a chance to touch Prada.
