Well, you make some good points. I'm willing to wait and see because the Archbishop may possibly have misunderstood the situation or may have been somewhat misreported.
But I won't wait too long. If this becomes a pattern, then he is going to lose the support of faithful Catholics in the Church.
If, as Sitetest says, he will be the speaker at the next pro-life rally, then sooner or later, and preferably sooner, he is going to have to decide whether he will speak up for the Catholic faith of which he is a shepherd, or whether he will fail to do his public duty.
This isn't easy. The Archbishop of Washington, DC, is obviously under more political pressure than most. But that just means that the bishop has to stand up more than most to the pressures of his job. He's going to be in the spotlight, and we'll soon see what kind of a job he does.
Dear Cicero,
"Well, you make some good points. I'm willing to wait and see because the Archbishop may possibly have misunderstood the situation or may have been somewhat misreported."
I don't think so.
Then-Bishop Wuerl identified himself as a partisan of the viewpoint of Cardinal McCarrick concerning pro-abort Catholic politicians - which is that no sanction should be taken against them.
It'd be nice if he reversed course, but no one should hold his breath.
