Donald Wuerl:  Wolf in Shepherd's Clothing

   Outline of this Page:

-   Donald Wuerl's long-term indifference toward a crime against humanity which has includ-
    ed child slave labor profiteering.  (Included is a concise outline on how that sin depletes
    an offending nation's economy.)

-   Wuerl's long-term indifference toward yet another corporate sin to which multitudes in  
     America have been indifferent and complicit.

-   An documented character assassination ratified by Wuerl which was originally leveled at
    two individuals, but which now constitutes one leveled at the administrators and student
    body members of: 

            Georgetown, Boston College, Fordham, Holy Cross, Villanova, Marquette,
            thirty-two other Catholic colleges, Immaculata High School of Sommerville,
            NJ, the Toronto Catholic District School Board, the Claretian religious order,
            the Good Shepherd Sisters religious order, and Theodore Cardinal McCarrick.

-  An intimidation tactic utilized by Wuerl upon one priest, during the Pittsburgh church clos-
   ing marathon, and a retaliatory ultimatum imposed upon a number parents who thought that
   they adequately fulfilled their part of a agreement, in their attempt to keep Wuerl from clos-
    ing their children's school.

-  The Cult of Personality, including exagerrated laurels, exaggerated descriptions, and the
    Joseph Stalin Complex.  (Included is a segment that draws attention to the fact that
    the "prestigious" Elizabeth Ann Seton Award which was given to the tiny Donald
    Wuerl in 1995 is an award that can be won by anyone on earth who has a sizable
    bank account or a sizable amount of corporate funding.)

The Sin of Silence

The media praise of Wuerl contradicted itself in the following way:

                                                                                                                                                                    
That practice is child slave labor profiteering, and throughout Donald Wuerl's years of indif-
ference, it has involved the importation of inventory to the United States from Asia, South
America, Central America, the Caribbean, and Africa.  Needless to say, Wuerl  has been
equally indifferent toward the sweatshop labor which has been imposed upon foreign adults.
However, adults are the ones upon whom children are dependent fortheir survival.  Therefore,
this indifference envelopes Donald Wuerl in an aura of razor wire. 

One of the Four Sins that Cry to Heaven for Vengeance

Formerly known as the Defraudment of Laborers of their Wages, slave labor profiteering has
long since been identified in Catholic Church teaching as one of the four sins that cry to Heav-
en for vengeance.  Bishops are morally obligated to see to it that Catholics live free of all sins
of accessory, including that which involves sweatshop labor profiteering and things similar.
This additionally includes the obligation of bishops to approve ini tiatives and apostolates de-
signed to end the Catholic faithful's accomplicement to such crimes against humanity.   Inci-
dentally, apostolates used to be known as Catholic action guilds.

The synonym for sin of accessory is sin of cooperation.  In the instance of sweatshop profit-eering, it involves cooperation with corporate sin.  Corporate sin is not limited to the activi-
ties of corporations.  Rather, a corporate sin is one that is given the fuel to perpetuate itself
via the cooperation of an entire society.  The word, corporate, is derived from the word,
body.  Thus, a corporate sin is an evil that is supported by the body politic of the region or
nation where it is committed.  That is to say, a corporate sin occurs when the vast majority
of society makes itself an accessory to that sin.  Nazi Germany is the quintessential example
of corporate sin and the sin of cooperation.  In addition, Corporate sin is also known as so-
cial scandal.

Vatican II states that the Church by its nature is missionary.  This means that the Church has
the innate instinct to rally to causes, establish initiatives, and as Saint Paul phrased it, to "fight
the good fight."  In sequence, Pope Paul VI once stated that the renewal of the temporal or-
der is the vocation of the laity.  Bishops are morally obligated to provide the laity with the
assistance necessary to fulfill its vocation.   Wuerl did no such thing at any time, despite the
fact that he has been a reigning bishop for 24 years.  A reigning bishop is known as a local
ordinary.

America does NOT make money from sweatshop labor.  It looses money from it.  While
Communist Chinese merchandise ships come to America, American money goes to Maoist
China.  No one pays America to take the merchandise.  The Chinese communist dictators do
not even give Americans a commission for selling the merchandise.   

A flow of U.S. dollars goes into Communist Dictatorial China, as well to all of the NAFTA
nations, never to return to the States.  The money lost in the Republican Party economic sys-
tem is called the Trade Balance DEFICIT.  The total deficit for the past 10 years has been
$5.806 trillion (2002 to 2011).  The deficit for the past 20 years (for goods & services) has been $7.487 trillion (1992 to 2011).  For goods only, the 20 yr International Trade Balance Deficit has been $9.236 trillion.

That's MINUS $9,236,000,000,000.
          MINUS $7,487,000,000,000.
          MINUS $5,806,000,000,000.

All gone.  Bye bye.  No more.  Au revoir.  Not even a post card.  Plus, sweatshop workers
recently threatened mass suicide, on account of the harsh conditions in the sweatshops that
manufacture the products which go to the United States.  In as much, Americans have be-
come unconscionable slave drivers by proxy, all the while destroying their own economy.
This means that foreign workers would not be able afford American products anyway, be-
yond wheat products, in Equitable Foreign Trade ... even if America had not ceased being
a manufacturer of household consumer products in significant quantities.

Imagine the trade balance deficit money as flowing through a tube into protectionist dictator-
ships.  This costs American jobs.  In fact, this entirely prevents the creation of many Ameri-
can mid-size business start-ups.

The Economic Downside Effect of
Foreign Slave Labor Profiteering

Foreign slave labor profiteering achieves the following results:

- Increases an offending nation's international trade deficit.
- Reduces the same nation's gross domestic product.
- Deceases the offending nation's per capita income.

At this point, view the United States trade balance deficit through
the years, in its trade of goods (not services) with China, alone:

                  U.S. IMPORTS                        U.S. EXPORTS
              from sweatshop China                to protectionist China
        (This is money paid to China)   (This is money paid to the U.S.A.)

2011            $399 billion                              $104 billion
2010            $365 billion                                $92 billion
2009            $296 billion                                $69 billion
2008            $337 billion                                $69 billion
2007            $321 billion                                $62 billion
2006            $287 billion                                $53 billion
2005            $243 billion                                $41 billion
2004            $196 billion                                $34 billion
2003            $152 billion                                $28 billion
2002            $125 billion                                $22 billion 

10yr total: $2.82 Trillion                            $574 Billion       
 paid to Slave Labor China                  paid to an acquiescent U.S.A.

The NET equals: MINUS $2,24,600,000,000 - That's only trade with China.
This is goods only.

The Total Deficit, as is charted below, is MINUS $5,806,000,000,000.
This comprises trade with all nations.  This comprises goods and services.

The hypocrisy is that trillions of American dollars stayed in the permanent posses-
sion of the Chinese Communist Dictatorship, in the name of Democracy and
Capitalism, as well as Republican Party Values.

Keep in mind that the total ten-year Trade Balance Deficit is $5,806,000,000,000.
Very simply, money is being injected into dictatorships, leaving America.  The work-
ers of China cannot afford American.  Plus, America is no longer a manufacturing
nation.  Thus, American dollars empower dictatorships and even turn them into ef-
fective garrisons.  Refer  to the following link:

See: http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c5700.html#2011 

Now, view the total 10 yr US trade balance acct, concerning trade with all nations,
in approximate numbers:

          Concerning GOODS only        GOODS and SERVICES

2011       minus $737 billion                     minus $588 billion
2010       minus $645 billion                     minus $500 billion
2009       minus $505 billion                     minus $381 billion           
2008       minus $830 billion                     minus $698 billion
2007       minus $818 billion                     minus $696 billion
2006       minus $835 billion                     minus $753 billion
2005       minus $780 billion                     minus $708 billion
2004       minus $663 billion                     minus $605 billion
2003       minus $540 billion                     minus $490 billion
2002       minus $474 billion                     minus $417 billion

Total:   minus $6.827 trillion               minus $5.806 trillion

Thus ends the mystery as to why millions of Americans are
not able to find jobs; especially those of a livable wage.

At this point, repeat after me:  "That's a lot of sweatshops."

A Crime Committed upon the Parent
is a Crime Committed upon the Child
and Visa Versa

An injustice thrust upon adults is one that is equally forced upon the children of those adults.
Poverty in the home of the parent is poverty in the home of the child.  Sweatshop labor im-
posed upon adults is an evil that also assails children.  Wuerl's willful indifference toward a-
dult sweatshop labor has been a violence inflicted upon multitudes of children.  Thus, he is
not the great protector of children that he was made him out to be.  Moreover, Wuerl's on-
going inaction indicates that he de facto believes, either subconsciously or consciously, that there should be a slave class out there, to serve him and his economic class of people.  In
as much, keep in mind that Pittsburgh diocesan priests were not the ones who took vows
of poverty.  Wuerl was ordained a Pittsburgh diocesan priest.

The Laws Against this Type of Profiteering Were
Already on the Books, in United States Federal Law.

It would not have required any courage for Wuerl to have stepped forth and initiate move-
ments designed to end the Catholic world's complicity with slave labor profiteering.  This is
because laws against it are already on United States law books.  There is Section 307 of the
1930 Tariff Act, along with the May 2000 amendment to that act.  Both are found in 19 USC
1307.  In light of these things, one can see that there was no risk for Wuerl to have awakened
the consciences of American Catholics in this matter.  Yet, he remained silent.

Despite the Law, Sweatshop Labor
Importation Has Been Rampant

There is a loophole in the 1930 Tariff Act.  The law does not prohibit the importation of in-
dentured/slave/convict/forced labor products "which are not mined, produced, or manufac-
tured in such quantities in the U.S. as to meet the consumptive demands of the U.S.."  In addition, there are recent trade agreements that do not require the enforcement of morally needed international labor laws.  This means that foreign stands in direct jeopardy of being
brutally abused with no legal recourse.  Plus, there is the allegation that the 1930 Tariff Act
is not being enforced.  The evidence is publicly evident.  Sweatshop labor, forced labor, ad-
olescent military inscription, and plantation slavery is rampant throughout the modern world
in general.  Numerous products made by laborers defrauded of their wages have been enter-
ing American ports for years.  It is equivalent to receiving stolen property on a grand scale.

The names of the corporations who have capitalized on sweatshop labor have long since been
posted throughout the Internet.  Some have faced federal lawsuits.  In fact, the offending cor-
porations were often household names.  The amount of available information on this topic is
so vast that it would require at least an entire web page, in order to post the links to it.  Yet,
Donald Wuerl and his Pittsburgh diocesan personnel remained silent and inactive that they
created the  illusion, among Western Pennsylvanians that sweatshop labor importation was
not existent.

When You Liberate Others, You Liberate Yourself

A properly paid foreign worker has a way of increasing product demand for American pro-
ducts, even from a third party nation.  Such a thing increases demand for American exports,
thereby putting American production workers back to work.  Such a thing can also enable
mid-sized entrepreneurs to either compete in smaller scaled markets or more easily enter the
ranks of subcontractor, simply by virtue of increased demand.

Slave Labor Profiteering is Even an Injustice
to the Citizenry of the Nation that Engages in it

Foreign slave labor profiteering results in unfair advantages over the citizens of the nation that
practices it.  This is because those who heavily profit from foreign slave labor steal economic
power from the multitudes, and in the process, they steal multiple advantages from their fellow
countrymen.  That is to say, they cheat in order to get their standing in life, and that is unfair to
everyone else.  Foreign slave labor profiteering, therefore, is even an act of violence commit-
ted against an offending nation's own citizenry.

The largest corporation in the world, from 2002 to 2005, was one known for its sweatshop
labor profiteering.  Even in Year 2006 it was the second largest in the world.  Moreover, it
had thousands of labor law actions filed against it by aggrieved American workers.  There-
fore, the grief it has caused has not been limited to foreign production line workers.  One re-
port marked it as having been cited for 1,400 labor violations in the State of Maine, alone.
In as much, that which you are willing to let happen to foreign workers is that which you're
willing to let happen to your own countrymen, if of course, you can get away with it.

Coast to Coast Crime

If you deny that you are part of this practice, simply go into your closet and read the labels
on your clothing.  Then go into your kitchen and read the labels on your appliances.  Go next
throughout your house, your place of work, and elsewhere, reading the labels on the newer
merchandise.  If you have any merchandise from a sweatshop, then the practice of slave la-
bor profiteering has reached your life.  In addition, if you work for a slave labor profiteering
corporation, then you are involved.

Things had gotten so perverted that religious objects such as crucifixes, as well as ornaments
used to celebrate Christmas, were being made in sweatshops.  Such a thing negates the pur-
pose for the coming of Christ.  Refer to the following links, each of which was configured to

In re:  The Sin of Silence

In order to understand the Sin of Silence, see Ezekiel 3:18, and keep in mind that there are ten commandments; not merely three.  There are seven deadly sins, and not merely two.  In addi-
tion, there are four sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance; not merely one.  There are nine ways
in which a person can be an accessory to sin.  Silence is one of the nine ways.

The bottom line is this:  During a time when priests were morally required to dedicate time in
ending the Catholic Faithful's cooperation with social sin, they were spending that  time turn-
ing the church into a country club and an incessant photo op.

Repeatedly Ignored by Wuerl

As far back as 1994, and even in 1998, I petitioned Donald Wuerl for an apostolate (or an
"initiative") dedicated to ending the crime of foreign slave labor profiteering, among other sins.
Needless to say, Wuerl never granted it.  Yet, he took one of the petitions out of my hands in
person.  However, he held it for a total of three seconds, putting it in the hands of one of his
personal secretaries.  In fact, he had a determined look on his face, in the quest to get that
petition off his hands as soon as possible.

Immediately after rejecting me, Wuerl walked over to a lady and her daughter, in order to re-
ceive their praise and adulation of him.  Meanwhile, many workers throughout the planet went
to bed impoverished that night.  The same workers would go to bed impoverished for the rest
of that year and the rest of that decade, into the 21st Century.   Yet, Wuerl continued going around, accepting the praise and adulation of his physically tiny and effeminate countenance,
all the while allowing deceptive photos of him to be published where he is made to look much
taller than he is.   Nobody worth considering cared how tall he was or was not.

As the years progressed, Wuerl's people finally admitted that they were only interested in helping those who were able to be fitted into an income bearing taxpayer funded diocesan
program.  None the less, a priest stationed at Duquesne University tried to get him to do a
bishop's duty and mobilize forces against the crime of foreign sweatshop labor profiteering.
Wuerl would not budge from his sin of negligence.  The Pittsburgh chapter of the Thomas
Merton Society tried to do the same.  He remained unresponsive.  Even in Washington DC,
Catholics posted an online petition, asking Wuerl to mandate all Archdiocese of Washington schools to purchase guaranteed sweatshop freeschool uniforms.  Wuerl should have been re-
moved from office years ago, solely because of his deliberate indifference in this matter.  He spent decades acting as if Rerum Novarum were never published.

Wuerl's Silence Started to Backfire
to the Point of a Razor Close Encounter

Q:  How did Wuerl's silence start to backfire?

ANS: HR 4437 -- The House version of the immigration bill which was passed on
December 16, 2005, shortly before the season of charity & good will toward man-
kind.  That bill reflected neither peace on earth nor goodwill toward men.

In May 2006, Donald Wuerl took a congressman aside and asked him,  "Do you
really want us to go to jail for helping people."  Well, I tried to help those same
people for years, but Donald Wuerl was disrespectfully unresponsive to my formal
request for a church approved apostolate.  My way of helping them would have got-
ten for them a humble measure of freedom in their own lands, and not dependency
upon taxpayer funded church operations, once they made their way into the United
States out of desperate need. 

In having neglected to rally to the cause 16, 12, 10, 8, and 4 years ago, Donald
Wuerl proved himself to not be a visionary.   In continuing to not rally to the cause,
Wuerl proved himself to be short-sighted.  In remaining obstinately silent, he con-
tinues to spit in the face of underpaid foreign workers whose numbers included
those of the Hispanic nations.  The irony to this is that Wuerl now heads an arch-
diocese populated by the Hispanic community.  There he was, spitting in their
faces for years, and now he is in charge of them.

Let us review:

Q: What has been causing the influx of immigrants through the
     southern United States borderline? ANS: Poverty.

Q: What caused the poverty?  ANS: Drastically low wages.

In summary, if Wuerl would have responded to the call to duty years ago, chances are that he
would not have found himself in the predicament that the church recently found itself in, until
the U.S. Senate came to the rescue.

Faith Without Good Works is a Sick Joke

by Patrick Pontillo
_______________

The Day of the Lord

Then there is the matter of the Desecration of Sunday, where the day consecrated by the Resurrection has been dedicated to the god of profit, on a hymnal of  time cards.  Stated
for the record, the desecration of the Sabbath does not occur in the matter of necessary operations, such as gas stations, power plants, and hospitals.  It does not pertain to oper-
ations that contribute to rest and relaxation, such as a State Park's boat rental shop.  It
does, however, apply to the factories which make the boats.

Desecrating the Face of God

The desecration of Sunday has been recognized in Catholic Spirituality as one of the two sins
against the Holy Face of Jesus.  Now, the Holy Face of Jesus is a title that symbolically re-
presents the Presence of God.  The desecration of Sunday, therefore, distorts the instinctual
ability to discern satanic impulses from angelic ones.

Sacred Scripture reminds us that "even Satan masquerades as an angel of light."  In se- quence, a society that desecrates the Sabbath is one whose people are easy to deceive.  As
a result, in a Western society that has lost its spiritual sonar, Donald Wuerl was being pre-
sented by the media as an angel of light.

A Sin Against Ecology

The desecration of Sunday not only suffocates the sense of the sacred within a person's in-
stinctual faculties, it is also a sin against ecology.  The sabbath rest replenishes what has been
depleted, while it drains that which has been accumulated in excess.  It puts things back into
perspective, body, soul, and mind.  In the 1970s, the expression was "getting your head to-
gether."  Then came the widespread desecration of the Sabbath. In the 1980s and 1990s a
new expression came into use, in describing the desecration era priests' new form of com-
munication. The new expression was "psychobabble head games."  Thus, we went from the
age of getting your head together to the age of psycho-babble head games.

They First Desecrated the Altar.

The correlation between the desecration of Sunday and the widely publicized priest scandal
can be found in the following observation:


Incidentally, the other sin against the Holy Face of Jesus is the use of the Lord's name in vain.

The Reason why England was Never Invaded by Nazi Forces

Twenieth Century mystic and stigmatist, Theresa Neumann, of  Konnersreuth Barvaria, stat-
ed that the reason why God did not permit England to be invaded by the Nazi Ger-mans was
because, in England, the sabbath was honored.

A Prophecy about the United States, spoken
by a Twentieth Century German Mystic

We disregard all prophetic claims which have been investigated and declared invalid.  We furthermore disregard the ones that have never been investigated.  This brings us to Ameri-
can prophecy of a stigmatist who never walked on American terrain.  This brings us to Miss
Theresa Neumann, a woman who wanted to be an African missionary, but who was too ill
to be one.

Well, some time after World War II, she stated that:


This would logically include hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, floods, pestilent infestations, lightning strikes, heat waves, and anything else that is not triggered according to a predic-
table mechanism.  The bottom line is that Theresa Neumann alluded to the metaphysical
effect of man's sins upon his natural habitat.

In order to confirm if this prophecy has any reliability attached to it, refer to an almanac. 
First take note of the frequency of tornadic activity during the years prior to the Marshall
Plan, and then compare it to the tornadic activity occurring after the establishment of the Marshall Plan.  The Marshall Plan was set into motion during 1948.  Then gloss over sta-
tistics of other types of natural disasters that have non-predictable triggering mechanisms.

A Bishop's Moral Obligation

A bishop has a moral obligation to speak out against the retailer's desecration of the Sabbath.
It is a sin shared by those who either patronize the retailer or partake in the retailer's profits.

A Pinch of Incense to the Emperor

Depending upon the temperament of the ruling emperor, the early Christians of the Roman
Church were required to toss a pinch of incense into a censor, while declaring the emperor
divine.  Doing so resulted in automatic excommunication from the church, while not doing so
resulted in inevitable execution at the hands of the pagan Romans.

In a latter century, Odilia, Ursula, and nine companions would be martyred in a barbarian
Germany.  Boniface would follow suit in Eighth Century Holland.  Sir Thomas More would
come to loose his rank and his life, while Margaret Clitherow would be crushed to death, in
a 16th Century England that outlawed Catholicism.  Before that same century would come
to a close, Paul Miki and his companions would be crucified in Nagasaki. 

In following suit, Charles Lwanga and his conferes would be martyred in a 19th Century
Uganda.  Then, in the 20th Century, Franciscan priest Maximillian Kolbe would have car-
bolic acid injected into him, while in a Nazi concentration camp, because he was a Catho-
lic priest.  In fact, it has been conjectured that the 20th Century had more martyrs than any
other century in history.

For those individuals, there was no compromise.  Today, compromise is treated as if it were
the eighth sacrament of the church.  As a result, the princes of the church have cast the illusion
 that the faith for which many died (while being entirely unarmed) is not to be taken seriously.
The image of the modern church has been drawn with cartoonish crayons.

The Incendiary Hypocrisy of the Modern Church

Consider the following scenarios:

A eucharistic minister at the 8:00 AM Sunday Mass is seen working
at a department store's cosmetic counter at noon.  Needless to say,
that is unnecessary Sunday work.

The attorney who served as the lecteur at the same Mass proceeds
on Monday with a civil case that will procure the divorce and sub-
sequent remarriage that the church has always taught to be adultery,
thereby making the attorney an accomplice to the sin of adultery.

An esteemed postmaster opens the Monday night parish council
meeting after having spent the day overseeing the delivery maga-
zines that have the provocative effect of an open flame taunting
a nearby can of gasoline.

The wedding caterer who leads the Thursday night prayer group
prepares for a wedding of divorced individuals, thereby planning
to honor an institutionalized form of adultery.

A catechism teacher goes to the church hall on Saturday,  after
having spent the week marketing retail merchandise produced
by foreign slave labor.

The best man at a Saturday wedding goes to communion while
intending to show up on a construction site the following Sunday,
so that a shopping complex can be completed in time for slave
labor products to be sold in the renovated stores.

No Conscientious Objection

For years, there has been no objection to a Catholic making a handsome income as the man-
agement level employee of a corporation that profits from either foreign sweatshop labor or
the desecration of Sunday, or both.  There has also been no objection whenever parts of
those forms of income were tossed into a parish's tax-free collection basket.  Part of the
modern church's assets in America come  from the exploitation of the underpaid worker. 
The church in America has been hoarding the money of the poor.

Similar to Inserting Razor Blades into my Face

A Defamation that Attacked the Core of My Being

Concerning the court case briefly mentioned in previous web page, Wuerl let a character as-
sassination be filed in appellate court which had the effect of inserting razor blades into my
face.  That is to say, in its 2001 appellate brief, Wuerl's Pittsburgh diocese stated that I and
my co-appellant merely wanted to live our own version of Catholicism, because we were
objectors to the cooperation of slave labor product importation.

This asserts that everything we believed in was invalid.  This assertion of total invalidity would
have to include our belief in the Trinity, the Immaculate Conception, the Divinity of Christ, the
Resurrection, the Ascension, the Primacy of Peter, the Seven Sacraments, Transubstantiation,
Apostolic Succession, the Assumption, the intercession of the saints, Holy Orders, Absolution
from Sin, Reparation for Sin, the Indissolubility of Marriage, and the moral requirement to re-
frain from knowingly partaking in the defraudment of workers of their wages (short of grave
or extreme necessity.)

The defamation now applies to Fordham, Villanova, Georgetown, Boston College, Mar-
quette, thirty-three other Catholic colleges, one Catholic High School, two Roman Catholic
religious orders, one Roman Catholic District School Board, and one retired Roman Catholic
cardinal.

One of the features of the previously mentioned lawsuit concerned Wuerl's refusal to grant me
my right to either an apostolate or a sponsored initiative that would have combated sweatshop
labor profiteering and other social sins, with the help of the resourced Catholic Church.  As
mentioned on the previous page, my allegation was that the 5'4" Donald Wuerl declined to comply with this moral obligation out of fear of ultimately loosing tax exempt status, taxpayer
funding, and other government benefits, among  other things.  In response to my allegation, the
Donald Wuerl who committed sacrilege, in giving communion to excommunicated politicians regarded my conscientious objection as an anti-Catholic stance by which I merely want to live
my own heresy.  Well, observe the following:

The Catholic schools listed below are actively opposed to partaking in the same sweatshop labor abuses to which I have been a conscientious objector for years.  They're now doing, in their realms, that which I tried to get started in the Pittsburgh diocese for years.  Each school
is an active member of the Worker's Rights Consortium and/or Fair Labor Association or both.  Each school refuses to knowingly patronize the providers of sweatshop products in
their team sportswear lines and in their school logo merchandise.

Each Roman Catholic who participates in the Worker's Rights Consortium and/or Fair Lab-
or Association would have to be declared by Donald Wuerl as merely wanting to live his/her own version of Catholicism as much as I was declared as having wanted to do.  We should,
therefore, all be put on trial in a court of Canon Law and be dealt with accordingly.  In as
much, take note of all the Catholic universities and colleges who will have to be declared
heretical schools by Wuerl:

-Holy Cross,   -Georgetown,   -Marquette,   -Villanova   -Saint John's,
-Bellarmine,   -Fordham,   -Duquesne,   -Seton Hall,   -Saint Joseph's,
-Gonzaga,  -John Carroll,  -Saint Mary's,  -DePaul,  -Dayton,  -Regis,  
-Boston College,  -Aquinas College,  -Providence College,  -Fairfield,  
-the College of St. Catherine,  -Notre Dame,  -Santa Clara University,   
-Seattle University,   -Loyola of Chicago,   -San Francisco University,   
-Carlow University,  -Neumann College,  -Cardinal Stritch University,
-the University of Portland (Oregon),  -the University of Detroit Mercy,
-Mercyhurst College,  -Saint Michael's College,  -Saint Peter's College,
-Marymount University (Arlington),   -Marywood University (Scranton),
-Xavier University (Cincinnati),  -Walsh University (North Canton, OH).

That amounts to 38 Catholic institutions of higher learning.  In light of this, the reasonably minded person would recognize this to be a lot of company for a person who was declared
as having wanted to live his own isolated version of Catholicism. 

The Claretians Opposed Sweatshop Labor Profiteering

There is the religious order known as the Claretians who also object to participating in the
Defraudment of Workers of their Wages (or whatever you want to call that practice.)  The
Claretians published Shop Till They Stop in their Salt of the Earth Magazine.  They also
provided web links for the purpose of letting the public obtain consumer boycott guides.  

Now, boycotting is only phase 1.  But, it is more than what Wuerl ever did in this matter.
Nonetheless, Donald Wuerl will have to declare the Claretian Religious Order as having
wanted to live their own version of Catholic as much as I was declared as having wanted
to do.

The Sisters of the Good Shepherd Rallied to the Cause, Also

The Sisters of the Good Shepherd developed Handcrafting Justice.  Therefore, according
to the tiny statured Donald Wuerl, each member of that religious which was founded in 1861
would also have to be declared as wanting to live their own isolated version of Catholicism,
too.  Incidentally, that religious order is also known as the Sisters of  Our Lady of Charity of
the Good Shepherd, and the significance in noting the date of its founding consists in the fact
that it was founded in New York during the days of Abolitionism.  Today's Sisters of the
Good Shepherd are today's abolitionists.

A Catholic High School in New Jersey is
Also Opposed to Partaking in the Crime

A Catholic high school in New Jersey has also been active in this mission, via its publication
& maintenance of Child Slave Labor News.  It is Immaculata High School, of Sommerville,
NJ.  The students and faculty of that school must also be declared as merely wanting to live
their own isolated version of Catholicism, by the Donald Wuerl who oversaw the Office of
Priestly Formation during the years when the influx on homosexuals into the seminaries was
given the red carpet treatment.

The Toronto Catholic District
School Board Hopped on Board

Then there is the Toronto Catholic District School Board whose Sweatshop-free Purchasing
Policy F.P.04 was approved on February 8, 2006.  In light of this recent event, Wuerl must
equally condemn that school board's membership as much as he let me be condemned.

We now come to Wuerl's predecessor, Theodore McCarrick.  In 1997, he was the arch-
bishop of Newark.  While being accompanied by then Secretary of Labor, Alexis Herman,
he "announced a multifaceted initiative to assure that Catholic school uniforms in the
Newark archdiocese would not be manufactured in sweatshops."  During that same gen-
eral time span, Wuerl held a youth rally at Three Rivers Stadium, where the youths were to
wear red t-shirts.  In what kind of shops were those t-shirts made?

The Irony of it all

The irony to Wuerl's long-term silence is that Pittsburgh was well known for its stance
on labor rights.  It was also known for an epic labor riot that involved Pinkerton detec-
tives (the Homestead Riot).  Not only is Pittsburgh famous for once having been the
world leader in the steel industry, it has been known for the number of bridges which
have been built and maintained throughout its vicinity.  It is called the City of Bridges.
Needless to say, bridge maintenance requires diligent workers.

That same geographic region once had the world's largest airport, as well as the largest
push button railroad in the world (Conway Yards.)  To this day, the tallest education
building in the Western Hemisphere is located in Pittsburgh, but it is only there because
of the teams of workers who constructed it.  In fact, the United Steel Worker's Union is
still headquartered in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh would have been the most suitable place to begin the anti-sweatshop movement,
and Wuerl could have been a pioneer in the movement.  However, he refused to be one. By
any chance is it that Wuerl did not find the worker to be glamorous enough for him?  Did he
regard the worker as a basal entity unworthy of concern?  The Sacred Script reads that, "with-
out the worker, no city can be built."  Yes, scripture respects the worker.

For Confirmation Purposes

For confirmation purposes, links to the Worker's Rights Consortium, the Fair Labor Associ-
ation, Immaculata High School's Child Slave Labor News, Handcrafting Justice, Claretian
Publications, and McCarrick's 1997 Initiative is posted directly below.  The posting was
done simply to show:

- that there actually are 38 Catholic colleges/universities who are  active in
   the anti-sweatshop labor movement via their affiliation with the Worker's
   Rights Consortium and/or the Fair Labor Association.

- that Immaculata High School is involved in the anti-sweatshop movement.

- that Theodore McCarrick did actively oppose sweatshop profiteering as
   far back as 1997.

- that the Claretians did make the effort to counter sweatshop profiteering,
   in their publishing of Shop Till They Shop:  a confused consumer's guide
   to shopping for a better world while providing consumer boycott guides.

- that the Sisters of the Good Shepherd really do have a project known as
  Handcrafting Justice.

Confirmed Even in 2006

It was confirmed in May 2006 that Wuerl was still negligent in his moral obligation to speak
out against (and to oppose) sweatshop labor profiteering.  This was first confirmed by a re-
presentative of the Pittsburgh Anti-sweatshop Community Alliance who politely said that they
were trying to get Wuerl involved via a priest stationed at the nearby Duquense University that
joined the Worker's Rights Consortium in 2004.  Then, when Wuerl went to DC, people pe-
titioned him to make a rule that all high school uniforms would be guaranteed sweatshop free.

A Thomas Merton Center representative confirmed Wuerl's ongoing negligence also, in hav-
ing simply said that Wuerl was continuing to do absolutely nothing to help end the nationwide
sin of sweatshop labor profiteering.
