I’ve never seen any information that Paul and David Wyerich are related in any way. Not saying they are not, but if they are there’s little information about it.
I live in the same area of California as David and Mary Wyerich and have some local knowledge of their history both good and bad.
Paul is considerably older than David.
Mary's maiden name is Martin...
I just knew someone at PFL (Priests for Life) talk about Paul Weyrich (he had lost a leg at that time) after the conversation was talking about David and Mary.
David and Mary are strong pro-life supporters and they do put their money behind what they say (in terms of pro-life).
Maybe they are distantly related or not related at all...
From the conversation, I thought it followed that they were -- as one moment the person was talking about David Weyrich, and the next talking about the fact that Paul had either lost a leg or was going to lose a leg...
They may only have in common the same last name and being strongly involved in the pro-life movement.
From a prayer thread on Paul Weyrich in 2006, it talks about him being a part of an Eastern Rite Church, not Roman Catholic.
It is possible they are related, but Dave and Mary Weyrich are very proud of their Roman Catholic Faith.
So I may have been very wrong to tie Paul with David and Mary.
The prayer thread also talks about Paul being a diabetic, and if he lost a leg, it would have probably been to that.
The discussion mentioned that possibility of Paul losing his leg. The fact that the discussion went from talking about David and Mary to one about Paul inferred to me that they were the same family.
But the person might have realized there was something that needed to be said about another person who was named Weyrich, but not related...
Being a computer programmer, I sometimes make assumptions...
