Scapegoating Cardinal Wuerl

No priest, cardinal or Pope can save our eternal soul, or lose our eternal soul.....the TRUE Church, which the Catholic Church is, will NEVER be destroyed!!

I’m guessing that you are a Protestant, maybe Evangelical...am I right?

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I think your comments about the funny hats is spot on!it’s directed at the elitism and the faith we had and respect for authority of the Church. Gone now.

Just because Wuerl did a slightly better job of dealing with this than his predecessors does not mean he is innocent. If nothing else he’s a political animal and likely did so for appearance’s sake.

I know people here in Pittsburgh who have known Cardinal Wuerl since childhood. They are all shocked and highly disappointed in him.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Evidence? Source? Link?

[Salvation]

I can’t believe Bill Donohue wrote this.

[GOPJ]

It was just story after story about “Donna”. Since the Pennslyvania scandal broke a few weeks I went back to see if the stories still held and they were wiped clean.

Who do you think 'wiped them clean'?

[Mrs. Don-o]

Evidence? Source? Link?

[Vermont Lt]

For God’s sake, just admit the crimes. Work with the police. Tell the world this is not what you stand for.

Take ACTION to prevent this, not to prevent exposure.

Its easy to do. Its a little painful, but it easy to do.

Otherwise this is simply a cancer that is going to literally kill the Roman Catholic Church.

[Vermont Lt]

I thought it was funny. Laughing is always appropriate.

[Biggirl]

Bill, Cardinal Wuerl brought this on himself.

[Biggirl]

PLEASE put an IMHO by anything you put in ALL CAPS. Thank-you!

[Biggirl]

BINGO!

Actually $482,673 according to Charity Navigator. Toward the bottom, under "Compensation of Leaders".

Or vote to CLEAN OUT house!

[Wolfie]

I’m thinking it’s just one big Goat, no Scape in involved.

[cuban leaf]

I’m a Christian.

[cuban leaf]

I put my authority on Jesus alone. Everyone else is just someone like me.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Shouldn’t this be settled by investigation based on testimony and evidence, rather than rumors and strong feelings of either personal loyalty or aversion?

I admit to being swayed by rumors and mockery, but I don’t think this is compatible with judging with justice. I need to restrain my prejudices.

Even if Wuerl wasn’t specifically informed of McCarrick’s behavior as Vigano claims, Wuerl had to know about the seminarians at the beach house and ski vacations in Italy. He had to know about the covey of young good looking seminarians and monsignors surrounding McCarrick. I knew (second and third hand) and I lived more than 500 miles away. Who in New Jersey didn’t know?

When a pastor of a church announces that he is spending his vacation in Provincetown, that gives you an idea how secure these men of the cloth felt they were.
