    Cardinal Wuerl To Meet With The Pope About RESIGNATION

    This needs to happen if the Catholic Church is to even have a chance to get past this. The new pope has to lead a purge of priests.

    The church also has to consider allowing Priests to marry and the new pope needs to stop being political and be the Pope


    Cardinal Donald Wuerl announced Tuesday that he will meet with Pope Francis soon to discuss his resignation in order to bring healing to abuse survivors.

    Wuerl, the archbishop of Washington, made the announcement in a letter to the priests of the archdiocese, saying that the decision was “an essential aspect” of helping the church as whole heal from the recent revelations rampant sexual abuse and cover-ups found the Pennsylvania grand jury report and further allegations from other members of the clergy.


    Several prominent D.C. Catholics and groups of sexual abuse survivors demanded Wuerl’s resignation in light of the grand jury report’s finding that he protected predatory priests and kept them in ministry during his tenure as bishop of Pittsburgh. Resignation demands intensified after archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano released an 11-page letter detailing Wuerl’s alleged knowledge of and failure to confront Theodore McCarrick’s alleged abuses.

    1. I think the purge happened. These were all old cases. If they're still there, they have to go.
    2. Married priests are a non-starter. We've been over this, there's no connection to married priests and molestation. The Priest shortage, yes. Molestation, no.
    3. They should all go.
    4. The Church should pay.

    The Church needs to actively purge Satan from the Vatican. I mean a war.

    That means the church will have their hand out to the parishioners for more money. The parishes never win in a situation like this.

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    Did they ever really stop protecting abusive priest or just talk about it?
