Me too but the Signatura, like all courts religious or secular, grinds much more slowly than the most egregious of sinners (like Weakland) can move into autocrime mode. He was once the head of the Benedictine Order and did great evils in Rome, then the worst Vatican representative this nation will ever suffer (Archbishop Jadot) saw to Wakland being installed as Archbishop of Milwaukee to ruin what was left by his predecessor (Archbishop Cousins???). At least, the Benedictines figured it out. When the lavender mad monk of Milwaukee finally had to retire, his original Benedictine Monastery told him he could not return to the monastery. He apparently lives in segregated facilities in St. John's Diocesan Seminary in Milwaukee, hopefully with no access to seminarians, innocent or otherwise.

Whether he repents or not, eternal justice is a lot more swift and quite permanent.

Not that segregated! He frequently appears at Diocesan functions as "Archbishop emeritus" and is regularly remembered in Sunday prayers (I suppose that is to be expected).

I must have missed his apology to the Diocese. I only remember his statement that the money was under his control and so he had the right to spend it as he pleased. And besides (his words) he brought more money in to the Diocese with his speaking fees than he spent on blackmail. Firends of his replaced the stolen money through collections from the faithful.
