Cardinal Wuerl's Continuing Crisis

... I welcome Cardinal Wuerl's criticism.

I invite him to write a formal letter of complaint, and I urge TAS to publish it in full.

Moreover, TAS [The American Spectator] offers readers a comment box in which readers can launch limitless attacks upon my pieces.

Cardinal Wuerl's silence is deafening. He still hasn't commented directly on his baldly unjust "administrative leave" order to

Fr. Marcel Guarnizo

Nor has he explained to the faithful why Barbara Johnson, the self-described practicing lesbian and Buddhist to whom Fr. Guarnizo properly denied Communion, enjoys a canonical right to the sacred species.

...Ed Peters suggests that I am guilty of canonical offenses for criticizing Cardinal Wuerl. I mentioned this to another canon lawyer. He laughed openly, dismissing the charge as clericalist bluster.

The faithful have not only a right but a duty to resist heterodox bishops. Without that resistance clericalism runs amok and the integrity of the faith is lost.

I am from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania where Cardinal Wuerl was known as Bishop Wuerl for many many years. I feel very very unimpressed at his sature on this issue. I feel that his actions of capitulating to the negatative criticism regarding this woman actions compromised the action of the USCCB in regards to the contraception mandate. He has successfully made it impossible for the bishops to ex-communicate anyone and now. Not having let the basic practice of the Priest, knowing someone to be out … [Más]

I sometimes wonder why liberal priests can rant in favor of secular ideations without censorship from their bishops. I'm not certain if bishops have an obligation to explain their actions to the laity or not, but I would certainly find it encouraging from time to time.

Fellow brothers and sisters in Christ : it is obvious that the Beast that spread it's darkness all over E.U. is raising it's ugly head reaching the shores of country of the North. Consider reporting not so long ago the words of The Holy Father Benedict XVI ,who stated "if the pope is unable to fulfill his duties he should resign from his office" - I had the feeling he was not referring to his state of health,but rather his freedom to excersize his authority as a Roman Pontiff and we all stood … [Más]

Comments:

I'm a member of Cardinal Wuerl's flock. The more I know about him, the less impressed I am. I think the archdiocese's handling of this matter of the lesbian Buddhist refused Communion is nothing short of despicable. I fail to see why a priest should be expected to abet a sacrilege, as the Fr. Guarnizo in this case would have had to do were he to distribute Communion to Ms. Johnson. I have not seen any mention of this affair in The Catholic Standard with the exception of a single … [Más]

It amazes me that a clericalist culture of toadying and flattery still exists in American Church circles, given the scandals into which the bishops have routinely plunged the faithful. I have no desire to participate in this worldly game of ring-kissing in which the Cardinal Wuerls wallow. They enjoy the trappings of their office without actually exercising it for the good of souls. They demand 13th-century obedience while behaving like 21st-century flakes who play church in costume and staff.
