Archbishop Wuerl Washes his Hands of the Pelosi Scandal

Reminiscent of Pontius Pilate, D.C. Archbishop Washes Hands Over Nancy Pelosi Political Exploitation of Catholic Mass

What was his excuse for failing to bring an end to this scandal?

Susan Gibbs, spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Washington and the Archbishop, told LifeSiteNews.com that the Archdiocese had nothing to do with the event. Gibbs said Archbishop Weurl did not interfere since Trinity University was under the jurisdiction of a religious order, the Sisters of Notre Dame, not the Archdiocese, and said she was redirecting complaints to Trinity.

Catholics and the general public must witness scandal compounded by scandal...Are fear and weakness the reasons for the failure of the Archbishop to fulfill his duties which are to teach, govern and sanctify?

Passing the buck, refusing to take action, blaming others for activities within one's own diocese demonstrates a quality unbecoming of a bishop - although that is what many have to come to expect from episcopal leadership, with a few notable exceptions. It appears that the Washington archdiocese has received another leader with the same "strength of character" as its former "leader", Cardinal McCarrick.

Pray for these men, that they might receive the grace and strength of Christ - His chosen Apostles and countless Christians who were (and are) willing to follow our Saviour without compromising the Faith - even unto persecution and death.
