One of the areas in which Popes are not infallible is the decision to create a Cardinal. Wuerl is a prodigious fundraiser.
Wuerl is the most notorious homosexual in the American hierarchy. Google the phrase “twirl with Wuerl.” It originated at the seminary in Pittsburgh where he was rector for many years: “To get through this place you have to have a twirl with Wuerl.”
Even if one discounts these “rumors,” the fact is that Wuerl is a notorious public sinner. Namely, he insists on giving Communion to pro-abortion politicians, and publicly-self-proclaimed unchaste homosexuals. Thus, Wuerl causes grave scandal. Giving grave scandal is a mortal sin. Thus, Wuerl obstinately persists in manifest grave sin. Thus, it is gravely scandalous for Wuerl to CELEBRATE MASS, because the celebration of Mass involves the reception of Communion.
There is not much the laity can do about this is there. I guess I have been spoiled by having good bishops.
