Timothy Michael Dolan (born February 6, 1950) is an AmericaCatholic prelate. He has served asArchbishop of New York since 2009 and as acardinal of the Catholic Church since 2012. Dolan served as the president of theUnited States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) from 2010 to 2013. After being made a cardinal byPope Benedict XVI in 2012, Dolan participated in the2013 papal conclave that electedPope Francis and in the2025 papal conclave that electedPope Leo XIV.
Dolan previously served as rector of thePontifical North American College in Rome from 1994 to 2001, as an auxiliary bishop of theArchdiocese of St. Louis from 2001 to 2002, and as archbishop of theArchdiocese of Milwaukee from 2002 to 2009.
The eldest of five children, Timothy Dolan was born on February 6, 1950, inSt. Louis, Missouri, to Robert (1925–1977) and Shirley (née Radcliffe) Dolan (1928–2022).[4][5] His father was anaircraftengineer, working as a floor supervisor atMcDonnell Douglas.[6][7] Dolan has two brothers, one of whom, Bob Dolan, is a formerradio talk-show host,[8] and two sisters. The family later moved toBallwin, Missouri, where they attended Holy Infant Parish.[9]
Dolan exhibited a strong interest in thepriesthood from an early age, once saying, "I can never remember a time I didn't want to be a priest."[10] He would also pretend to celebrateMass as a child.[11] Dolan enteredSaint Louis Preparatory Seminary in Shrewsbury, Missouri, in 1964. He later obtained a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy degree fromCardinal Glennon College in Shrewsbury. CardinalJohn Carberry then sent Dolan to reside at the Pontifical North American College in Rome while studying there. Dolan earned aLicentiate of Sacred Theology in 1976 from thePontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome.
Dolan wasordained a priest at Holy Infant Church on June 19, 1976, for the Archdiocese of St. Louis by Auxiliary BishopEdward O'Meara.[12] After his 1976 ordination, the archdiocese assigned Dolan as anassociate pastor at Curé of Ars Parish in Shrewsbury and Immacolata Parish inRichmond Heights.[5] In 1979, the archdiocese sent Dolan to Washington D.C. to begin hisdoctoral studies at theCatholic University of America under ReverendJohn Ellis, concentrating on the Catholic history of the United States. Dolan's doctoralthesis centered on BishopEdwin O'Hara of Kansas City;[5] it was eventually published as a book.[13]
Upon Dolan's return to Missouri in 1983, the archdiocese assigned him topastoral work in parishes for the next four years. During this time, he collaborated with ArchbishopJohn L. May in reforming thearchdiocesanseminary. In 1987, the Vatican appointed Dolan as secretary of theApostolic Nunciature in Washington, serving as a liaison with theAmerican dioceses.[10] Dolan left Washington in 1992 after Archbishop John May named him as vice-rector of Kenrick-Glennon Seminary. He also served asspiritual director at the seminary and taught Catholic history. Dolan was also posted as anadjunct professor of theology atSt. Louis University in St. Louis.[14]
Dolan returned to Rome in 1994 after the USCCB appointed him as rector of the Pontifical North American College.[15] During his tenure in Rome, he publishedPriests for the Third Millennium, and taught at thePontifical Gregorian University and St. Thomas Aquinas.[10] He was granted the title ofmonsignor byPope John Paul II in 1994.[16]

On June 19, 2001,Pope St. John Paul II appointed Dolan as anauxiliary bishop of St. Louis andtitular bishop ofNatchesium.[9] He received hisepiscopal consecration on August 15, 2001, from ArchbishopJustin Rigali, with BishopsJoseph Naumann andMichael Sheridan serving asco-consecrators. Dolan chose as his episcopal motto:Ad quem ibimus, meaning, "Lord, to whom shall we go?" (John 6:68).[1][2][5]
On June 25, 2002,Pope St. John Paul II appointed Dolan as the tenth archbishop of Milwaukee.[9] He wasinstalled at theCathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Milwaukee on August 28, 2002. Dolan said he was challenged and haunted by thesexual abuse scandal in Milwaukee, which broke during his tenure.[17] According to radio stationWTAQ news, "An attorney says at least 8,000 kids were sexually abused by over 100 priests and other offenders in the Milwaukee Catholic Diocese."[18]
Dolan took a special interest in priests andvocations,[19][20] and the number ofseminary enrollments rose during his tenure as archbishop. In an outdoor mass in September 2002, Dolan briefly wore a "cheesehead" hat during his homily in tribute to theGreen Bay Packers football team.[21] While in Milwaukee, he wroteCalled to Be Holy (2005) andTo Whom Shall We Go? Lessons from the Apostle Peter (2008), and co-hosted a television program with his brother calledLiving Our Faith.[11]
On September 28, 2007,Pope Benedict XVI named Dolan as theapostolic administrator of theDiocese of Green Bay.[22] Continuing to serve as archbishop in Milwaukee, Dolan's term as administrator ended on July 9, 2008,[22] when Benedict XVI appointed BishopDavid L. Ricken as the next bishop of Green Bay.[23]

On February 23, 2009, Dolan was appointed the tenth archbishop of New York by Benedict XVI.[24] Dolan succeeded CardinalEdward Egan, who had reached the mandatory retirement age of 75 for prelates in 2007. According to Dolan, Apostolic NuncioPietro Sambi notified him by phone of his appointment in New York "nine, ten days" prior to the official announcement.[25] Dolan said that when he was appointed auxiliary bishop of St. Louis and archbishop of Milwaukee, he was told on the phone that John Paul II "would like [him] to" take the posts. In contrast, Sambi told Dolan that "the Pope [Benedict XVI] had appointed [him]" to New York, giving Dolan little choice other than to accept it.[7]
Before Dolan's appointment as archbishop of New York, observers had repeatedly mentioned him as a possible successor to Egan.[26][27] However, Dolan downplayed such speculation, saying, "Anytime there's kind of a majorsee that opens, what have we seen with Washington, Baltimore, Detroit, now New York, my name for some reason comes up. I'm flattered."[28]John L. Allen Jr., Vatican correspondent for theNational Catholic Reporter, noted that Benedict XVI's appointment of Dolan followed his pattern of choosing prelates "who are basically conservative in both their politics and their theology, but also upbeat, pastoral figures given to dialogue."[29]
In an interview with theAssociated Press before his installation, Dolan pledged to challenge claims that the Catholic Church was unenlightened due to its opposition tosame-sex marriage and abortion. Dolan said that he hoped to rebuild confidence among Catholics who were disenchanted with the church after the sexual abuse scandals; he described these scandals as "a continuing source of shame".[30]
Dolan was installed as archbishop of New York atSt. Patrick's Cathedral on April 15, 2009. He wore thepectoral cross used by his 19th-century predecessor, ArchbishopJohn Hughes.[31] Eleven cardinals and several New York elected officials attended the ceremony.[32] Dolan received thepallium, avestment worn bymetropolitan bishops, from Benedict XVI on June 29, 2009, in a ceremony atSt. Peter's Basilica.[33]
Dolan is the Grand Prior of the USA Eastern Lieutenancy of theEquestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem.[34]
Soon after his arrival in New York, Dolan oversaw two "strategic planning" processes on the utilization of archdiocesan schools and parishes. "Pathways to Excellence," held from 2009 to 2013, examined the elementary schools. "Making All Things New," from 2010 to 2015, examined the parishes. Like in many other American dioceses, Dolan closed dozens of schools and parishes would close or merge with others in their neighborhoods, due to decades-long trends of shifting populations, increasing expenses, declining attendance, and decreasing clergy.[35][36]
Dolan served as chair of the board of directors ofCatholic Relief Services, in which capacity he visitedEthiopia and India, until his election as USCCB president. He remains a member of theBoard of Trustees of The Catholic University of America.[37]

Dolan was the apostolic visitor to Irish seminaries as part of theApostolic visitation to Ireland following the 2009 publication of the Ryan andMurphy Reports on sexual abuse. Dolan was part of a team that included CardinalCormac Murphy-O'Connor, archbishop emeritus of Westminster; CardinalSeán Patrick O'Malley of Boston; Toronto's ArchbishopThomas Christopher Collins; and Ottawa's ArchbishopTerrence Prendergast. They reported their findings to Pope Benedict XVI in 2012.[38][39]
On January 5, 2011, Dolan was appointed to the newly createdPontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization.[40] Also in 2011, at the Vatican's request, Dolan led a visitation (investigation) of thePontifical Irish College, the seminary for Irish seminarians and priests studying in Rome. His 2012 report was highly critical of the college. It said that "a disturbingly significant number of seminarians gave a negative assessment of the atmosphere of the house". The report said that the staff were "critical about any emphasis on Rome, tradition, the magisterium, piety or assertive orthodoxy, while the students are enthusiastic about these features". It also said: "The apostolic visitor noted, and heard from students, an 'anti-ecclesial bias' in theological formation.[41][42]
Dolan's report recommended that the college make staff changes. As a result, the college reassigned three staff members back to Ireland and a fourth one resigned.[41][42] The four Irish archbishops (CardinalSeán Brady, ArchbishopDiarmuid Martin; ArchbishopMichael Neary; and ArchbishopDermot Clifford) responded to the report, saying that "a deep prejudice appears to have coloured the visitation and from the outset it led to the hostile tone and content of the report".[41]
On December 29, 2011, Dolan was appointed a member of thePontifical Council for Social Communications for a five-year renewable term.[43] On April 21, 2011, he was appointed a member of theCongregation for the Oriental Churches.[44] On January 24, 2012, Dolan went on a religious pilgrimage toIsrael and theWest Bank, where he met the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem,Fouad Twal.[45][46] On November 30, 2013, Pope Francis named Dolan a member of theCongregation for Catholic Education.[47]
On September 3, 2014, Dolan denied requests by theDiocese of Peoria to receive the remains of ArchbishopFulton Sheen, who had been entombed in St. Patrick's Cathedral since his death in 1979. The diocese sued the archdiocese, claiming that it owned the rights to remains.[48] On November 17, 2016, Judge Arlene Bluth of theNew York State Supreme Court ordered the archdiocese to transfer the remains to Peoria.[49][50][51] On September 13, 2014, Dolan was appointed a member of theCongregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.[52]
Dolan completed a pilgrimage to theSanctuary of Our Lady of Knock in Knock Ireland, in 2015. On May 13, 2017, he celebrated arequiem mass when John Curry, the youngest witness to the Knock apparition, was re-interred inSt. Patrick's Old Cathedral cemetery inLower Manhattan after being disinterred from an unmarked grave onLong Island.[53] At theinauguration of US President Donald Trump on January 20, 2017, Dolan delivered the firstbenediction. His invocation included a recitation ofKing Solomon's prayer from theBook of Wisdom.[54][55]
In August 2020 offered the opening prayer for the2020 Republican National Convention.[56] In February 2023, Dolan announced that the archdiocese was closing 12 schools that had not recovered financially from theCOVID-19 pandemic.[57] On April 13, 2024, during a visit toJerusalem, Dolan and his entourage were forced to take cover due to an Iranian missile attack on the city. The attack was a response to an April 1 Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate inDamascus, Syria. No one in Dolan's group was injured.[58] Dolan on October 1, 2024, announced that the archdiocese was suing its insurers,Chubb Group, for its alleged failure to pay insurance claims related to the sexual abuse scandal.[59]

Within the USCCB, Dolan chairs the Priestly Life and Ministry Committee and sits on the Subcommittee on the Church in Africa. In November 2007, he lost the election for USCCBvice president, being defeated by BishopGerald Kicanas by a margin of 22 votes. Dolan was elected on November 16, 2010, to the USCCB presidency, becoming the first New York prelate to hold this post. Dolan replaced CardinalFrancis George, who did not run for re-election. In a vote of 128 to 111, Dolan defeated Kicanas and eight other candidates to win the three-year term.[60] Dolan took office two days later and served as president until November 12, 2013.[citation needed]

Dolan was elevated to the rank of cardinal by Benedict XVI on February 18, 2012.[61] The day before theconsistory, Dolan addressed the pope and theCollege of Cardinals on spreading the faith in a secularized world.[62] He was createdCardinal Priest of theNostra Signora di Guadalupe a Monte Mario church in Rome. Dolan was the first archbishop of New York since 1946 not to receive thetitular church ofSanti Giovanni e Paolo, as that title was still being held by his predecessor, Cardinal Egan. After Benedict XVI announced his retirement as pope due to ill health, effective February 28, 2013, the press suggested Dolan as apapabile, a possible successor to Benedict.[63][64][65]
In May 2025, Dolan participated in the papal conclave convened after the death of Pope Francis.[66] According to multiple Italian news outlets, Dolan played a significant behind-the-scenes role, acting as a consensus-builder among American and Latin American cardinals. According to several reports, Cardinal Dolan acted as akingmaker in the2025 papal conclave, gathering strong support forRobert Francis Prevost, who was eventually elected pope asLeo XIV.[67][68][69] Analysts noted that Dolan used his influence to steer votes away from front-runner CardinalPietro Parolin, rallying support for Prevost during pre-conclave discussions.
In February 2012, Dolan criticized thecontraceptive mandate enacted by the Obama administration requiring employers offering employee health insurance to provide at least one form ofartificial contraception to their female employees. In a televisedCBS interview, Dolan charged the federal government with forcing Catholic organizations to provide birth control coverage, even though it contravened Catholic teaching.[70]
In March 2012, after the administration amended the rule to require the insurers, not the employers, to provide the birth control coverage for employees, Dolan said that the "first decision was a terribly misguided judgment" and that the March revision was "a first step".[71]
On June 2, 2020, Dolan spoke on his podcast about the protests and police actions following the 2020 murders ofGeorge Floyd in Minneapolis andAhmaud Arbery in Georgia, along with the 2020shooting of Breonna Taylor in Louisville. In this interview, he attempted to speak to both protesters and police.[72] He argued that police were mostly good people and compared them to priests. He also said that the protesters had an important message. Dolan then said thatblack lives matter, joining that statement with "all lives matter" and "police lives matter".[72]
In a June 28, 2020,Wall Street Journal opinion piece, Dolan argued against removing statues of American historical figures because they had been slave owners or fought for the Confederacy in theAmerican Civil War. Dolan said, "If we only honor perfect, saintly people of the past, I guess I'm left with only the cross. And some people would ban that."[73]
In a July 1, 2020, opinion piece for theNew York Post, Dolan called for ending the perceived demonization of theNew York City Police Department. He said that "the most stinging rebuke [of the murder of George Floyd by a policeman in Minneapolis] comes from ... cops I chat with on the sidewalks of New York". He added that "in a recent meeting with community activists, one black leader reminded us, 'Don't give me this 'get-rid-of-the-cops' rant! You onMadison Avenue orPark Avenue might not need the police. We up in The Bronx sure do!'"[74]
In November 2009, Dolan signed theManhattan Declaration, a manifesto circulated by conservative Christian groups in the United States. The declaration called for Christians to commit acts ofcivil disobedience against laws forcing them to participate in abortion or treat same sex relationships as if they are marriages.[75][76]
In October 2017, Auxiliary BishopJohn O'Hara, acting on Dolan's behalf, stopped St. Mary Parish in the Archdiocese of New York from hosting the International Human Rights Art Festival. This was because the festival had scheduled two performances that included gay and transgender content. After the archdiocese complained about it, the festival director moved the event to an Episcopal church in Brooklyn.[77]
In June 2023,Outreach Catholic, anLGBTQ Catholic advocacy group, held a conference atFordham University. Francis sent his best wishes to the conference attendees. Prior to the event, Dolan sent a letter to ReverendJames Martin, the leader of Outreach, stating: "It is the sacred duty of the Church and Her ministers to reach out to those on the periphery and draw them to a closer relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. Your vital and important ministry is a valuable and necessary contribution to that effort."[78]
In 2009, Dolan defended his silence in 2001 regarding US PresidentGeorge W. Bush's appearance at theUniversity of Notre Dame. Some Catholics had criticized Bush for his support ofcapital punishment. Many Catholics later condemned him for the2003 US invasion of Iraq. Dolan said, "Where President Bush would have taken positions on those two hot-button issues that I'd be uncomfortable with, namely the war and capital punishment, I would have to give him the benefit of the doubt to say that those two issues are open to some discussion and are not intrinsically evil. In the Catholic mindset that would not apply to abortion."[79]
In 2002, ArchbishopJustin Rigali of St. Louis assigned Dolan to investigatepriests accused of sexual misconduct in the archdiocese. Dolan spoke with parishioners, victims, and the media about the scandals, and invited victims to come forward with their allegations.[10] Commenting on his meetings with victims, Dolan said "it is impossible to exaggerate the gravity of the situation, and the suffering that victims feel, because I've spent the last four months being with them, crying with them, having them express their anger to me."[80] Dolan's dismissal of abusive priests from public ministry angered some parishioners, who denounced his investigation as a "witch hunt".[10] In a 2003 letter to CardinalJoseph Ratzinger, Dolan requested that the Vatican expedite thelaicization of priests whom he believed were "remorseless and a serious risk to children". In the letter, Dolan wrote: "As victims organize and become more public, the potential for true scandal is very real."[81]
In 2011, Dolan thankedBill Donohue, leader of the conservative groupCatholic League, for a press release that was reproduced on the Archdiocese of New York website. In the statement, Donohue denouncedSurvivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) as a "phony victims' group". SNAP had previously criticized Dolan.[82] In May 2012,The New York Times revealed that the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, then headed by Dolan, had paid some abusive priests up to $20,000 to resign the priesthood immediately rather than wait for the Vatican to laicize them. The archdiocese noted that these priests, all suspended from public ministry, were still receiving full salaries and would continue to do so until their laicization. Furthermore, these payments were motivating them not to contest being defrocked; Dolan had previously termed accusations of giving "payoffs" to accused priests as "false, preposterous and unjust".[83]
In July 2013, documents made public during bankruptcy proceedings for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. They showed that Dolan, then archbishop of Milwaukee, in 2007 had sought permission from the Vatican to shield $57 million in church funds from victims lawsuits. In the letter, Dolan wrote: "By transferring these assets to the trust, I foresee an improved protection of these funds from any legal claim and liability."[81][84] Dolan had previously denied shielding assets from child sex abuse victims claiming compensation, calling the accusations "old and discredited" and "malarkey."[85] The Vatican approved the 2007 request from Dolan five weeks later.[81]
In September 2018, after the August release of thePennsylvania grand jury report on sexual abuse in Pennsylvania dioceses and the sexual abuse allegations against then CardinalTheodore McCarrick, aCNN interviewer asked Dolan whether he believed that homosexuality was a cause of clergy sexual abuse of minors. He answered: "I don't think that's the sole root of it. The sole root of it is a lack of chastity, a lack of virtue. This isn't about right or left. This isn't about gay or straight. This is about right and wrong."[86]
In 2019,The Washington Post reported that Dolan, along with some other American prelates, had received substantial cash gifts from BishopMichael J. Bransfield, which he took from investments owned by theDiocese of Wheeling-Charleston. Bransfield had resigned following allegations of sexual misconduct and embezzlement, and was later forced by the Vatican to make restitution to his diocese. Dolan never commented on this allegation.[87]
In April 2009, Dolan visitedGround Zero, the Manhattan site of theSeptember 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on theWorld Trade Center. Dolan recited the same prayer offered there by Benedict XVI during his 2008 visit to New York, commenting, "We'll never stop crying. But it's also about September 12th and all the renewal and rebuilding and hope and solidarity and compassion that symbolizes this great community and still does."[88]
In July 2020, the progressiveNational Catholic Reporter reported thatIgnatius Press sent copies of the bookThe Next Pope: The Office of Peter and a Church in Mission, by conservative authorGeorge Weigel, to all 222 cardinals. The publishers included a copy of a letter from Dolan, stating: "I am grateful to Ignatius Press for making this important reflection on the future of the Church available to the College of Cardinals."[89][90] Some cardinals saw this as a violation of the 1996 apostolic constitutionUniversi Dominici gregis in which John Paul II "forbid(s) anyone, even if he is a Cardinal, during the Pope's lifetime and without having consulted him, to make plans concerning the election of his successor."[89][90] Dolan had earlier been critical of the way Francis had organized the 2015Synod on the Family. Replying to criticism about his book, Weigel stated that it "does not contain a single sentence about a future conclave. No potential candidates are named and no conclave strategy is discussed. The book is a reflection on the future of the Office of Peter in what Pope Francis has called a Church 'permanently in mission'. Period."[91]
Following theassassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Dolan praised Kirk as a "modern-daySt. Paul".[92] TheSisters of Charity of New York rejected the comparison, writing that "many of Mr. Kirk’s words were marked by racist, homophobic, transphobic, and anti-immigrant rhetoric, by violent pro-gun advocacy, and by the promotion of Christian nationalism."[93] TheNational Catholic Reporter further criticized Dolan's comments, given that Kirk had described Pope Francis as a heretical Marxist.[94]
In 2004, Dolan delivered the eighteenthErasmus Lecture, titledThe Bishops in Council, organized byFirst Things magazine and the Institute on Religion and Public Life. In his address, Dolan reflected on the history and role of episcopal collegiality in the Catholic Church, emphasizing the theological and pastoral importance of bishops working together in service to unity and mission. The lecture examined both the historical roots of church councils and their continuing significance for contemporary Catholic leadership.[95]
Jeffrey Anderson made the assertion yesterday at a court hearing on the first compensation claims filed by abuse victims as part of church's bankruptcy proceedings.
