He's headed the NYC ArchDiocese for the last 16 years, the largest in the USA. Apparently, he didn't know about gammy. This was discovered and revealed by his 87 year old sister.

But wait, there's more! As a special Perknose Bonus, the article reveals that his sister lives in Ridley Park, Pa, the borough I grew up in.

Mary O'Connor Ward-Donegan, the cardinal’s 87-year-old sister, at her home in Ridley Park, Pa. She and her daughter Eileen discovered the family's Jewish roots.

And . . . her house, which she's standing in front of, looks quite like the sturdy but small brick box I grew up in as well.

They must have built millions of the brick ramblers out east. Take the old lady out, put me and my 3 brothers in Easter Sunday going to church clothes and that would be the front steps of the house I grew up in.

And his sister lives in my boyhood hometown, in a house nearly identical to the one I grew up in. That's the "And" for me.

Plus what brycejones just said.
