Abp. Dolan "weights" for tomorrows elevation to Cardinal
With the help of Shapiro’s counsel, Dolan has lost 25 pounds in the last year, after trying every diet from Atkins to cleansing shakes.
“His brother and I would joke about the diet du jour," said Jerry Topczewski, who was Dolan's chief of staff when he was archbishop of Milwaukee.
“He will never pass up a plate of meatloaf and macaroni and cheese,” he said, recalling how Dolan would joke he wouldn’t stay for the food at functions if the mashed potatoes weren’t real.
Milwaukee Auxiliary Bishop Donald Hying, 48, remembers Dolan was watching his weight when they attended a conference dinner in Seattle in June 2011.
He only ate half his steak and potatoes and passed the rest of it to Hying, down a line of cardinals.
“It was a surreal moment,” he said.
Dolan’s brother, Bob, said he’s not sensitive about his rotund silhouette.
"He's always making fun of himself. His weight is fair game because he makes fun of it himself all the time," he said.
