I'm happy Cardinal Dolan is not Pope

Too often we say one thing and do another. Cardinal Dolan sounds Catholic. He has a program on EWTN. He preaches with passion and has a very engaging smile. So why don't I like the man. I mean I love him, as all Catholics must do, but thankfully we don't have to like everyone. 
Is it now ok to violate canon law if you're a Cardinal? How about a Bishop or a priest? Better still how about you and me? Of course not. Then why does Dolan give Holy Communion to Joe Biden? 
That doesn't win Biden over and it tells the rest of us that being pro-abortion or pro-gay marriage is fine and you can even receive the Lord in Holy Communion. It leads more to hell then to heaven. 
Well here is what Canon 915 says, Can. 915 Those upon whom the penalty of excommunication or interdict has been imposed or declared, and others who obstinately persist in manifest grave sin, are not to be admitted to holy communion.
Well Joe Biden does persist. Cardinal Dolan words are cheap, actions are what we need. Stop leading the sheep to slaughter.
