A Roman Catholic high school will shed the name of Washington's archbishop after he was cited in a sweeping grand jury report as having allowed priests accused of sexually abusing children to be reassigned or reinstated while he was Pittsburgh's bishop.

The Diocese of Pittsburgh said Wednesday that Washington Cardinal Donald Wuerl made the request to remove his name from Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic High School, and that school and diocese officials accepted it.

The sign out front of the suburban Pittsburgh school was discovered vandalized Monday, with red spray paint obscuring Wuerl's name as some conservative Catholics called for his resignation or ouster, and a petition circulated to remove his name from the high school.

The Pittsburgh Diocese cited what it said was Wuerl's Aug. 16 letter:

"In light of the circumstances today and lest we in any way detract from the purpose of Catholic education ... I respectfully ask you to remove my name from it. In this way, there should be no distraction from the great success of the school and, most importantly, the reason for the school — the students."

He was an accomplice in horrible child rape cases... he should be arrested.

The Pope can ‘forgive’ him if he’s sitting in a prison cell as easily as if he’s sitting in a rent free rectory.

Interesting, especially in light of the recent focus on the thousands of children sexually violated by priests. Most were boys and all the perpetrators of the boys were homosexual clergy - priests.

The elephant in the room is that the homosexual community had infested the RC clergy. But our modern society is protecting the queer lifestyle. If you say a word you are publicly labelled homophobic.

I want you all now watch carefully, as there will be a full court press now, making the homosexual pedophiles the victims.
