The internet journalist George Neumayr related a troubling (but typical) incident that occurred today during a book-signing conducted by Cardinal Wuerl at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, located on the campus of Catholic University of America in Washington DC. In his own words from his Facebook wall:
I attended the publicly advertised but sparsely populated event as a member of the press. I showed up in a suit and tie. I stood quietly near the table at which Wuerl was going to sign books. He arrived and I politely shook his hand. He gave me a serpentine grin and moved towards the table. A few moments later two police officers arrived and said to me that the Basilica bookstore was "private property" and that the Church wanted me "escorted off the property."
Why would Cardinal Wuerl have a member of the press removed from Church property by the police during a book signing? Because I have been investigating Wuerl's corrupt use of the faithful's money. He has been furtively using donations to finance a multimillionaire penthouse on Embassy Row. His press secretary has denied every one of my requests for an interview and so I have sought to interview Wuerl and priests with whom he has lived at the penthouse by typical journalistic means. Outrageously, Wuerl has used my mere reporting as a pretext to call the police on me. This is the "transparent," "accessible," and "accountable" Church of Pope Francis? May God help us all.
In all of my years of reporting, I have never seen a churchman as deviously insular and elitist as Wuerl. On the hard-earned donations of the faithful, he has lived like a Borgia-era cardinal, indulging his affluent tastes while eschewing his flock and ignoring or abusing his priests. His exploitation of the faithful's funds is made even more gross by his subversive heterodoxy, on display at the recent Synod on the Family and in his defense of Communion for pro-abortion pols and other checkered Catholics. He takes the faithful's money to bankroll his ecclesiastical perks while seeking to separate those faithful from the orthodox teachings of the Church.
Unbelievable? Not so! Consider Wuerl's treatment of Father Marcel Guarnizo over three years ago. Let's shine some light on this misbehavior and not let these progressive clergy get away with this thuggish behavor.
... they didn’t call him “Wuerl the Girl” for nothing ...
I don’t have a great deal of use for Wuerl, and will happily admit that, as in Ancient Israel, the middle management of the chosen people is there not because of their own merits, but more to show that God must be in charge. Any institution not divinely supported could not surrvive the poor management.
That said, If Jack Chick was right, Wuerl would have had him hauled of by Jesuits or the CIA to a secret location, and he would be on the rack right now. Jack Chick is either nuts or a detractor.
Where is the mercy, tolerance, accompaniment and acceptance of George Neumayr by the Church?
Follow him to the Penthouse... how hard would that be?
More and more,the Catholic Church and the political class are indistinguishable in lack of principles, morals, hypocrisy and money grubbing.
Apparently he has sufficient support to keep him far above reproach many are learning from obama how to be at the top and stay there despite being lawless, deceitful, and crude while being surrounded by a multitude of defenders, it is how evil rolls.
Key word: serpentine
You could be describing the second half of Solomon’s reign, or David’s, for that matter. There is nothing new under the sun.
