Church Militant: Cdl. Wuerl fleeing to Rome to avoid U.S. arrest for abuse cover-up
Lifesite News ^ | 08-30-2018 | Claire Chretien

WASHINGTON, D.C., August 30, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Pope Francis has directed Cardinal Donald Wuerl to leave the United States “before being arrested” by authorities, Church Militant’s Michael Voris reported this evening.

The Washington, D.C. cardinal – successor to disgraced ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick – and former bishop of Pittsburgh, where a recent grand jury report says he helped shuffle around and cover for sex abuser priests, is in hiding while “final plans for sneaking him out of the country are executed,” Voris reported.

According to Voris, who says he received this information from reliable sources, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) may open up a RICO case against the Catholic Church. RICO, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, is a 1970 anti-organized crime, anti-racketeering law.

Because Wuerl would be a prime target of such a case, according to Voris, Pope Francis wants him out of the country lest he reveal “all he knows” because any potential DOJ case would lead to the Vatican.

“They are trying to sneak him out of the nation under Vatican diplomatic secrecy,” said Voris, noting Wuerl has backed out of a number of public events after the Pennsylvania news broke, and speculating he may be hiding at a hotel in the nation’s capital. Voris said priests of the archdiocese received a letter from Wuerl saying he was looking forward to seeing them during Labor Day weekend.

There are no formal charges against Wuerl... sadly that are public anyway.

As such pretty hard to keep him from leaving the country.

Wuerl is not under diplomatic immunity. He is, at least, a legal resident of the US.

I pray that Wurel is arrested and before that, his passport is taken away.

Wuerl and Francis should both be extradited to Pennsylvania.

Hope he doesn’t make it to Rome, or at any rate, the Vatican - since the Vatican does not permit extraditions.

He could save everybody a lot of time and expense by doing what Judas did.

Can a non catholic post a catholic caucus thread and make a comment? This has to be a FR first.

Thank you for posting.

Wuerl needs/deserves to be arrested and castrated. NOW. But it seems everyone in DC is busy screwing with the White House. Grrrr.

When I went to work as a high school teacher for the Archdiocese of Washington, I had to take a course on child abuse and pass an extensive background check.

Weurl? The scumbag likely designed that entire program.

So many people sucked up to him knowing his true nature. Was always clear to me.

Irrelevant. The trolldom outweighs relevance to the thread, given the site the thread is on.

Celebrate elsewhere.

If you are a baptized Catholic you will always be a baptized Catholic. That indelible mark of your Baptism will remain forever — until you meet Christ at the particular judgment — the moment you die.
