New York's cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan told top Catholic leaders in Rome they must spread their message with joy, love — and blood, if necessary.
Dolan addressed Pope Benedict and the church's Colege of Cardinals at a meeting in the Vatican City Friday on the eve of his elevation to the elite club.
