Cardinal Wurel is as off his rocker as ever... I mean who knew that it is a bad idea to give communion to Catholic Politicians who dissent from church teachings? Or that people who fully disclose and state that they are heretics but still want to receive communion shouldn't ? I don't know maybe Cardinal Burke was just trying to point out these things to Cardinal Wurel and he just didn't want to listen. And now he has the power granted to him and he wants to call the shots when he wouldn't listen to the person who was in power over him? OBEDIENCE is the number one thing that this situation has nothing to do with...
