DC Archbishop Wuerl has long demonstrated his own status as an AmChurch leftist invertebrate. In Pittsburgh, he resisted Marian devotions. In Seattle, he was a failure as coadjutor archbishop. In DC, he has already indicated that he will not deny the Body and Blood of Christ to self-excommunicated politicians which makes him complicit in their sin of sacrilege. The sooner he retires, the better. May he be replaced by a Catholic when he goes.
Sean Cardinal O'Malley had a decent reputation in Fall River and Palm Beach before being named to Boston. This situation was a moral test for him and a leadership test as well. He failed on both counts from the looks of the press reports.
He is not only allowing a Church funeral for Ted the apparently unrepentant Swimmer (fortunately not at the cathedral but in a Catholic diocesan Church nonetheless) but he is also apparently going to allow Comrade Obama to take to the pulpit for the now traditional Pelagian heretical "eulogy" telling us how sure it is that the late excommunicated baby killer and human whale is certainly, according to no less than Comrade O, in heaven. All this in the direct presence of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Obama should not be allowed to enter ANY Roman Catholic premises and O'Malley well knows it. Time to replace O'Malley with a Roman Catholic archbishop as well.
Agree with you 100%.
Not surprising catholic leadership for the past 50 years have no credibility among faithful, believing catholics.
