There's more.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan attended the Met Gala, the Catholic bash fest.

From WABC-TV:

High fashion and a higher calling come together in a show called "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination." Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, gave his approval for the event because it's about "truth, goodness, and beauty" -- which means it's consistent with Catholic beliefs.

Cardinal Dolan helped convince the Vatican to loan to the Met's Costume Institute more than 40 of its treasures, some of which had never left the Holy See.

"I think what you get by mixing the divine with the profane is a recipe for controversy, but something really fun," said Alex Badia, style director of the esteemed Women's Wear Daily.

From The Wrap:

Wonder where Rihanna scored that bejeweled papal-looking hat for Monday night’s Met Ball celebrating the Costume Institute’s exhibit of Vatican fashion?

Turns out the miter was a loaner — from Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the head of New York’s Roman Catholic diocese.

...Dolan conceded that the miter was a good match for the pop star’s beaded white corset dress with matching jacket and clutch, custom made by John Galliano’s Maison Martin Margiela.

“I was teasing my auxiliary bishops, who were teasing me about Rihanna and I said, ‘Hey, you guys should not complain because she’s volunteered to do some confirmations,'” Dolan joked. (We’re guessing that the pop star won’t actually be filling in for any of the diocese’s bishops to perform that sacrament.)

Dolan admitted he was a “tad apprehensive” about attending the Met Ball — whose theme this year was based on a new exhibit of Vatican-loaned artwork and vestments called “Heavenly Bodies” — but ball host and Vogue editor Anna Wintour had assured him that organizers would rein in the out-there fashion choices of previous years.

“There were some aspects that looked like kind of a masquerade party, a Halloween party,” he conceded. “I didn’t really see anything sacrilegious, I may have seen some things in poor taste, but I didn’t detect anybody out to offend the church.”

I disagree with Cardinal Dolan.

I don't think a bondage mask draped in rosaries is a respectful display. If that wasn't meant to be offensive, I don't know what it was meant to be.
