Like most faithful Catholics I know little or nothing about the political infighting among the hierarchy.
Priests take a vow of obedience. I would never ask them to talk about their superiors.
Like most Catholics the only contact I have had with someone Bishop level or higher is listening to them on tape asking for money.
Wuerl practically destroyed Catholicism in the Pittsburgh diocese. He used a Sherman-like torched earth policy and closed down Catholic schools and churches by the hundreds. I have friends that moved away from Pittsburgh because they had no decent church to attend.
At his ordination to the diaconate and presbyterate, a priest promises “respect and obedience” to his bishop and his successors. He does not make this promise to OTHER bishops.
