Cardinal Wuerl's Invocation at DC Mayor Gray's Inauguration

You can read it here if you wish.

Again, I must ask why did Cardinal Wuerl do this?

Personally, I believe that this brings scandal upon the Catholic Church in this Archdiocese.

Do you have any thoughts as to why he did this? I have some but I would love to hear from you.

He did it because he openly rejects your theories as to why this would be a "scandal" and because of his respect for Mayor Gray and the diversity of our city.

Since when is offering prayers for a city and newly elected officials a scandal?

Katherine, you're probably correct - to Cardinal Wuerl's shame.

Cardnal Wuerl is a very political man. So was Cardnal McCarrick but he was mor elegant about it.

Any respect Wuerl has for Mayor Gray I suspect has to do with the opportunity scholarship program. The only chance to save the program rests with the Mayor and the City Council. What has been a Federal program would have to become a local program funded by District tax payers. I think this is why the Cardinal was kissing up to the Mayor. It will not make any difference because the District government is broke and Gray opposes the program on grounds of separation of Church and State. By the way Katherine, it's time Wuerl had some respect for the diversity of our Church. He needs to start listening to people other than just Duffy and Burnford.

Won't Katherine be surprised when she discovers that the heavenly city, Jersualem, is not a diverse place. Those who embrace Satan and the glamour of evil won't be there: the wages of sin is death.

You will not believe the write up The Catholic Standard gave to the Gray inauguration. You talk about kiss up. This is the kiss up to end all kiss ups. Guess what got left out of the article.

I counted 54 pictures of Son of Satan Wuerl in yesterday's Catholic Standard. Also 4 pictures of his priest secretary --who has made the cover of the CS again. I think only two of the Mayor. I wonder when SOS Wuerl will get around to teaching us what the Catholic Catechism says about priest secretaries. Why don't you start a vote about who will get SOS Wuerl's ring when he goes to his eternal reward?

Now that it's okay to be a member of an ADW parish and pro-tax payer funding of abortion and pro gay marriage (I see according to yesterday's CS that Mayor Gray is a parishioner at St. Francis Xavier in Southeast Washington who also regularly attends Mass at St. Mary, Mother of God Parish in Northwest Washington) I will out some Catholic pro-abortion MD State legislators who have come to my attention recently: Barbara Frush who serves on Pallotti High School's board of Directors,

and Jim Rosapepe, member of Holy Redeemer College Park, MD.
