I realize this was a minor point in the podcast, but hearing that Cardinal Wuerl is still trying to influence the Vatican is galling. He is the opposite of Archbishop Henning’s homily as you both describe it, and the fact that he was the major force behind rewriting the religion curriculum at Catholic high schools across the country is shameful. The curriculum — not just as written, but as he wanted it strictly implemented — turned teaching the faith from something dynamic and alive and inseparable from the rest of life into something dead and compartmentalized from the rest of life. The negative impact of his influence is going to be felt for a very long time.
BTW, per Luke’s Starting Seven - Today’s Bollettino - for 25 October 2024, Cdl Wuerl had another meeting with Francis. One possibility is he is lobbying for the successor to 75-yr old Bishop David Zubik for Pittsburgh…. Who knows.. he makes no effort to keep in touch with the apostolic administrator who succeeded him for Pittsburgh. Seems like someone is funding him to be the US church’s “international man of mystery”?? 🤷♂️
