Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of Cardinal Donald Wuerl from his post as the archbishop of Washington, D.C. In a letter released Friday by the Vatican, from the pope to Wuerl, the pontiff confirms he has accepted the archbishop's resignation and lauds Wuerl for putting the church's interests over his own personal defense against claims he protected abusive priests.

Wuerl, who led the Pittsburgh diocese for 18 years, was implicated in a recent Pennsylvania grand jury report and had faced increased calls to step down over allegations he covered up for so-called "predator priests." He also has been accused of failing to act on accusations against his predecessor in Washington, former Cardinal Theodore Edgar McCarrick, who resigned in July over abuse charges.

3. Total sham..

Of course, Wuerl will remain a priest, with all the benefits attaching to that status. Never mind that the Profession of Faith includes the following:

"I also firmly accept and hold each and everything definitively proposed by the Church regarding teaching on faith and morals."

Morals, which of course, include the ten commandments, including the one about bearing false witness. That would be the one about lying.

As Chris Hedges would say, total theater. This clown should be indicted, along with the rest of the perps and enablers.

4. The entire leadership should be in prison

but then religion is the best scam/sham on the planet
