D.C.'s embattled Catholic leader, Donald Wuerl, under fire in recent days for untruthful statements regarding what he knew about the alleged sexual misconduct of his predecessor, Theodore McCarrick, apologized late Tuesday, saying he forgot he knew about the allegations and that it was “never the intention to provide false information.”

Wuerl apologized to former priest Robert Ciolek in the evening and then sent a letter to the priests of the archdiocese, where Wuerl is the acting administrator. Pope Francis received Wuerl’s retirement as archbishop earlier than expected last fall as the cardinal was being pummeled by criticism over his handling of abuse cases when he was the Pittsburgh bishop, and also by suspicions that he was not being fully honest about what he knew of the McCarrick scandal.

“I wanted to apologize for any additional grief my failure might have also brought the survivor,” he wrote.

Well since he's a liberal... his bullsh*t 'apology' will be accepted. And since thugs at the Washington Post believe 'words matter' but 'actions don't matter' they'll accept this BS... hell on earth.

Yeah. Wuerl heard that McCarrick was out there

Of course.

"I'm absolutely having a cow about Wuerl lying again!"

There.

[NorthMountain]

Was he just too chicken to tell the truth? Was he trying to duck the consequences of McCarrick’s malfeasance? Was he goosing the seminarians, too?

Whatever will we do with this turkey?

[SaxxonWoods]

Well, no surprise over such a minor thing.

[BlessedBeGod]

Tell the truth? In a pig's eye! He's too sheepish.
It was just a little horseplay with the seminarians.
All of this nagging is really getting his goat. He's tired of being lamb-asted.
He's used to hogging the limelight in a different way.

Whatever will we do with this turkey?

Fry him.

[NorthMountain]

Fry him.

A fate far worse than merely being fried awaits those who obstinately, knowingly, and with malice aforethought persist in sodomite heresy.

lol!

[GOPJ]

Was he gaslighting the Washington Post?

[piusv]

Fake apology from a fake bishop.

[NorthMountain]

He’s trying to gaslight US.

[GOPJ]

You’re right - but we aren’t as gullible as the Washington Post...

[NorthMountain]

comPost isn’t so much gullible as complicit.

[GOPJ]

LOL - yep, that’s a cream alright.
