Sounds like a winner.

Stop him before he causes millions to die (Eternally)

I’ve heard this said many times this week; Is it true, or just a rumor? If true, which in and of itself, is monstrous, those prosecuting the rape cases, need to clap Weurl in proverbial irons, before he escapes to a place where we have no extradition agreement, i.e., the Vatican. Or does he have some sort of diplomatic immunity? God is the ultimate Justice, but he also meant for there to be law and order here on earth. He did not condemn Rome for putting to death, the men who hung on either side of His Cross. That speaks volumes, especially to those who do not believe in capital punishment. I know sin often goes unpunished in THIS world, though it’s hard to see. But LORD, must we stand by, and see the wicked prosper, every time? How long, LORD? How long?

He’s already gone. He was supposedly seen in Rome (at the Vatican, that is) this morning, and has been there for several days.

I know lots of Catholics. They might not say so; but, these people do not represent them, including the lost Argentine.

“I suggest the Pope leave the Vatican before pitchforks show up and scale the walls.”

You mean francis hasn’t torn down the Vatican walls yet? I thought walls were bad.

I think you’re right. This story is being reported nowhere else. And if it were really true, the British tabloids would be all over it.

I found this....

Wuerl is in Rome for "consultation," I am hearing from reliable sources. NAC seminarians spotted him on a Rome flight. He will return for the Labor Day priestly confab at Little Flower. Protest it hard if you care about God's Church.— George Neumayr (@george_neumayr) September 1, 2018

Also saw this...(from EWTN reporter)....

Ex-cardinal McCarrick's coat of arms has been removed from the front of his titular church in Rome, Sts. Nereus and Achilleus. (It has been on the pillar opposite Pope Francis' for 17 years.) pic.twitter.com/B0RUq1lmAt— Hannah Brockhaus (@HannahBrockhaus) September 1, 2018

Supposedly he’s coming back for Labor Day, when he has a meeting with seminarians. But he has already sent them a letter that contains his speech, and I suspect he won’t come back.

*** He’s already gone. He was supposedly seen in Rome (at the Vatican, that is) this morning, and has been there for several days. ***

I heard the same thing, with “he is scheduled to return to the US Monday or Tuesday”

Not holding my breath...

The Vatican won't shield Wuerl from justice; the press would be utterly toxic if they tried. At the moment, of course, there is no "justice" from which he would need to be shielded. That may change.

Interesting tidbit about his coat-of-arms being removed from his titular church. He may come back not-a-cardinal and not-the-archbishop-of-Washington.

Oops, that was McCarrick’s coat-of-arms. Never mind.

Caiaphas didn’t cease to be the High Priest of Israel, though he led the plot to kill Our Lord.

Un-stinking-real........

Still protecting each other.

So much for the claims of taking care of the issue.

So far, they are just taking care of themselves.

Yeah, really.

Christ’s representative on earth who we’re supposed to be in submission to.

And Catholicism claims he’s head over ALL Christianity.

And the cover up goes all the way to the top. The entire stinking hierarchy needs to come down. Not that the Catholics want advice from me but after a thorough housecleaning Id look at the way they consolidate power and prestige in their cardinals and the cabal at the Vatican
