VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of Washington Cardinal Donald Wuerl who is implicated in the sex abuse cover-up scandal.
Wuerl, the former bishop of Pittsburgh, has been scrutinized since the release of a grand jury report on child sex abuse by priests in six Pennsylvania dioceses.
He was named nearly 200 times for his alleged involvement in the cover-up.
Wuerl served as bishop for the Diocese of Pittsburgh from 1988 to 2006. After the August release of the grand jury report, calls for his resignation began.
In light of the grand jury report and a petition, Wuerls name was removed from North Catholic High School. His name had been added to the school in 2013 when it moved from Pittsburgh Troy Hill neighborhood to Cranberry Township.

Now, replace him with a man who is indisputably orthodox. No more sodomites, heretics, or infidels!

I’m sure the press has misquoted Frankie again this time. He showed “great mobility” as in evading accusations and allegations. And as far as being a “model” bishop, he may have modeled some for private special events. The Pope has a great way with confusing words and contexts.
Thank you, God!
From the Pope’s letter in that link:
**In accepting your resignation, I ask you to remain as Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese until the appointment of your successor.**
Gone as archbishop, but still hanging around.
