This is only the tip of the iceberg. Cardinal Donald Wuerl, now archbishop of Washington, led the Diocese of Pittsburgh, for 18 years. Donald Wuerl had personal knowledge of the abuses and paid off victims as well in exchange for non disclosure.

Quote: Wuerl’s predecessor as Washington archbishop, Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, sexually abused seminarians and young priests, and spent nearly 20 years molesting a young boy, the first person he baptized, beginning when the child was 11.

My American Enterprise Institute colleague Michael Strain has recommended bringing back former Oklahoma governor, federal prosecutor and faithful Catholic Frank Keating to lead the investigation. In 2003, Keating resigned from a lay-member church-appointed board looking into abuse after he refused to apologize for comparing the coverup by the bishops to the Mafia. That makes him precisely the right man for the job.

A petition has been started to remove Cardinal Donald Wuerl's name from a newly built catholic High School in the Pittsburgh area.

Church Militant has learned that the archdiocese of Washington, D.C. has hired prestigious law firm Jones Day to represent Cardinal Wuerl in response to the Pennsylvania grand jury report. Jones Day represents major American corporations, including Procter & Gamble, CitiGroup, General Motors, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and American Airlines, to name just a few.

Reports are that to retain this firm is $50,000 to $75,000 per month. Church Militant has queried the archdiocese of Washington, D.C. asking who is paying for this representation and where the money is coming from. As of the time of this report, the archdiocese has not responded.

If there is any justice, Wuerl should be indicted with the other slime balls he protected. This must be a time of repentance. Repentance requires accountability. And accountability requires resignations — starting with Wuerl’s. Lost in the shuffle is the abuses suffered by school age children at the hands of Nuns in Catholic schools. The nuns were just as bad with regards to physical violence and sexual abuses that they visited upon trusting and defenseless children as well.
