This week on The Pillar Podcast, JD and Ed discuss Cardinal Angelo Becciu’s anticipated return to the College of Cardinals, the pope’s latest financial policy change, and reactions to the death of Archbishop Rembert Weakland.

I couldn’t stand Archbishop Weakland’s theology, pastoral care or style let alone his sins, cover ups and abuse. Unless he repented he is a true reprobate.
Yet I don’t hear many people say that he needs prayer, probably more than many others. May God be merciful to him and may we pray for him
Maybe I missed it, but doesn’t JD owe everyone a limerick? The finance trial started before the end of June, so Ed won the bet at the beginning of the year.
It seems pretty clear that if the full truth about Weakland were widely known, he would be considered as bad as McCarrick.
