Washington D.C., Mar 28, 2019 / 01:29 pm (CNA).- Pope Francis is expected to appoint Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Atlanta to serve as the next Archbishop of Washington, multiple sources have independently reported to CNA. Gregory would become the seventh Archbishop of Washington, succeeding Cardinal Donald Wuerl. A formal announcement could come as early as next week, sources say, though it has not yet been confirmed that the archbishop has accepted the appointment. Sources in Rome and the United States told CNA that Gregory was informed of the appointment earlier this week.

Technically, there has been no Archbishop of Washington since Cardinal Wuerl’s resignation was accepted in October 2018, but Wuerl himself has served as interim leader of the archdiocese since that time.

Pro-gay, pro-immigration, helped cover up sex abuse. Doesn’t have a problem with pro-abortion pols receiving communion.

A Bernardin protege and card carrying member of the "lavender mafia". Recently (last October) invited James Martin SJ, to speak in Atlanta.

It's business as usual for QueerChurch.

Is my memory correct here?

Didn’t he attempt to build a big mansion for himself in Atlanta?

Was it donated to a charity because of the uproar?

I just faintly remember something like this.

I meant Wilton Gregory, btw, not you! But Frankie likes them dumb so they’re no threat to him.

I just turned on One America News and found what looks to be a meeting of the College of Cardinals in Grand Rapids, Michigan. All I see is a sea of red hats.

Oh, my bad. The Donald is talking.

hmmm In good old fashioned style -— couldn’t we or someone start some kind of campaign against him, barrage the web with all the TRUE ACCUSATIONS, make it a big deal and bring to the attention of all just what he is, and what the Poop is doing -—
