2. It could not be otherwise. Only your own (”home”) bishop has authority over you.
Btw, this is why it’s useless for people to write letters to bishops other than their own, just shows them as fools, nor does bishop have any obligation to reply. So if you hate Cardinal Wuerl, don’t write him, write to your own bishop with your concern. That’s proper way.
I’d suggest that the Archbishop of Washington has authority over Catholic (or “Catholic”) politicians in Congress, as well as the bishops of their respective home dioceses. The Archbishop of Washington is The Egregious Wuerl; not much help coming from that corner.
