Way to go whomever was responsible for getting this man into seminary, ordaining him, consecrating him Bishop and then giving him a Cardinal's hat. Surely, we all knew what a Lion of Orthodoxy he was when all of that was going on and the ambitious young protege of the great Cardinal McCarrick, was conscientiously moving up that ladder of power. Perhaps there are some who might have been wondering a while back why nothing substantial was done when he was assigned to +Hunthausen in Seattle when the latter was in trouble with the liberalism and sex abuse; now things should be clearer...
WALLACE: So are you in favor or against the repeal of "Don't Ask/Don't Tell"?
WUERL: That is a question that has to be worked out politically. And there isn't a specific Catholic Church position, but whatever happens, it has to be seen in terms of the church's teaching position.

Unfortunately for us the Church will not return to orthodoy until most of those either involved with Vatican Ii or schooled in the "heady" decades following it. It seems like there really is a movement for a return to Tradition and orthodoxy amongst younger folks like me but when we have bishops and cardinals that are still spouting ambiguities and avoiding issues that might get them in trouble with the police of political correctness we have a long way to go. Perhaps a persecution is what will finally sift the wheat from the chaff. I only pray that if that ever comes I may be personally granted the grace to be wheat.
