Wuerl has turned out to be just another Cardinal McCarrick - an accommodationist.
Has His Grace excommunicated himself? Tom
Hurrah for Fr. Neuhaus for standing up and facing the spineless hierarchy in this country regarding the culture -of- death voting stand of most Catholic politicians in American. This would make any papist ready to fight, especially when the stakes are such innocent souls created by God's infinitely beautiful hands!!!
We need hierarchy who are going to stand up and give testimony like the great popes of the past. In fact, there have been too few saintly popes or even 'great' ones in Catholic Church history. Popes would go to the stake and to war in order to defend the deposit of faith and Church doctrine. If you wish more...

Hi there. I'm an italian reader of your blog. Here's a present for you: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gia...omms/370087486/
Rock on with papa Razti!
I have two posts on the Yale week activities here and here.
Lively comments about this are going on at Dawn Eden's blog as well.
Has His Grace excommunicated himself?
Why not just declare that the Pope has excommunicated himself for failing to make bishops like Wuerl refuse communion to bad politicians and get it over with? Then you can form a sedevacantist sect and have your family hold a basement conclave electing you the true pope. Or better yet why not apostasize from the faith completely? After all, Christ made Judas an apostle and has not protected the Church from giving communion to pro-abortion politicians. That has to count as the gates of hell overcoming the Church, right?
I agree with Anon. We have to make an effort at being respectful of the bishops. Regardless of how they act, they are still the successors to the Apostles themselves and we all know what a rag-tag bunch that was.
If I were a bishop I would be very much aware of the prevalence of invincible ignorance among my people.
Nancy Pelosi and Brian Higgins are 2 people who have been given, not least of all by Fr. Drinan, bad example of how to be both Catholic and a politician.
Also I would bet you five bucks they had approximately the same Catholic catechesis as one would expect to be given to your average toaster oven.
Punishment is not the answer. Teaching is the answer.

I agree. Teaching has many forms, one of which is refusing privileges one has lost, precisely to teach that sokething has been lost and needs to be regained. Ex-communication is in essence a form of teaching - a teaching that unmistakably makes clear one has cut himself off from the Church.
