SNAP's Complaints Against Donald Wuerl, Even Before He Was Appointed Cardinal

The distorted reflection of Pgh Roman Catholic cathedral on bank windows.
The symbolism is that the love of money distorts Catholicism.

Take note that ... ever so coincidentally ... as soon as the national director
of SNAP publicly held Donald Wuerl in contempt, SNAP was publicly
declared a fraud by the teeth-gritted Bill Donohue.   None the less, I did
find SNAP to be a "shoot-first-and-ask-questions-later" outfit.

For those unfamiliar, Donohue was the former Pittsburgh-area professor who
became the overly-paid director of the Catholic League, during Wuerl's tenure
in Pittsburgh.  If SNAP's national director, David Clohessy, would have public-
ly praised Wuerl, then he would have been given favorable regard from Bill
Donohue ... in my opinion.  Yet, the SNAP people do have a bit of a lynch
mob mentality ... of sorts.

Original Article:

Donald Wuerl is the cardinal  who had bitter complaints about him pub-
lished by the directors of SNAP;  by the directors of the Survivor's Net-
work of those Abused by Priests.   This ultimately shows that, if Wuerl
truly cared about sex abuse victims, SNAP directors would have recog-
nized it and have acknowledged it.  They did NOT do so.   They did the
opposite, even to the point of calling for his removal from a seven mem-
ber committee that was formed shortly after the 2002 USCCB conference
in Dallas.  Wuerl is the ultimate fraud and hypocrite

USCCB, incidentally, stands for the United States Conference of Catho-
lic Bishops.   It never existed until after the Second Vatican Council.

Persons not even belonging to SNAP have repeatedly observed in Wuerl
the typical self-seeking manipulator who used the survivor's network for
contrived photo ops, deceptive news articles, and political gain.   People
unrelated to SNAP recognized in the present archbishop of Washington
what SNAP's directors recognized.   Thus, there is a concurrence, over
and over again.

Regional SNAP director, David Lorenz, related his initial experience
with Donald Wuerl.   David was expecting an ally in Wuerl.  However,
during their second meeting, Wuerl told David to not come back to him
until David became "sacramentally healed."   Did you catch it?   Wuerl
told the nearest SNAP director to not come back.   It was equivalent to
telling all of SNAP to go to Hell.

None the less, Wuerl deceptively made it look as if he really cared about the
SNAP members, by walking out into a protest they were conducting, letting
the press claim that Wuerl was in full solidarity.  Uhhhhm.  The SNAP mem-
bers were protesting against Wuerl.  The media didn't mention this.

Wuerl used media and SNAP to cast of fraudulent image of him.
The image was a caring leader that Donald Wuerl never was.

Pittsburgh native survivor Paul Dorsch mentioned how cold & unmoved
Wuerl was during a meeting Paul and his mom had in Wuerl's office.  In
addition, a woman known and respected in the Catholic world of Malachi
Martin students stated that it was Wuerl's nastiness that which she noticed
the most.

My experience was that of a Donald Wuerl who turned into a curt and
hateful snapping turtle, as soon as he discovered that I was not there
with a gift in praise for him.   He originally strolled to me with the look
of someone who was about to received great praise.   He was only going
to receive a petition for him to do what he should have already done.  It
included the founding of an anti-sweatshop apostolate in Pittsburgh; in
a region famous for defending worker's rights, advocating livable wages,
and establishing unions.

Incidentally, this is a Donald Wuerl who was sued multiple times while
he was the bishop of Pittsburgh.   Needless to say, if a bishop is sued as
many times as was Wuerl in Pittsburgh, it means that there is something
disturbingly wrong with the bishop in question.

The following constitutes SNAP's assessment of the Donald W. Wuerl
who manipulated a lot of contrived and deceptive press, making it look
as if, during any given election, he should run for God.

In Donald Wuerl, the SNAP membership saw nothing more than a de-
ceptively slithering snake.   However, there were times when the SNAP
leadership disregarded their ill feelings toward Wuerl, employing a neu-
tral tone, in calling upon him to do a few things related to clergy abuse.
The red flag about imploring Wuerl to do the right thing was that, if he
truly cared about sex abuse victims, he would have done those things
long beforehand.  Therefore, SNAP directors were merely calling on
Wuerl to do the minimum.

According to his track record, the minimum is the most anyone will get
from Donald Wuerl, unless you are helping him to gain influence and
power by stealth and manipulation.

Wuerl is not the only modern cleric whom SNAP personnel found to
be deeply disturbing, in this era where bishop after bishop was caught
looking out for one or more selfish interests.  In fact, SNAP members
are not the only ones deeply disturbed by the fruits of the Vatican II
"reformed" church.   Even Germans left the church in droves, upon
learning of the election of Joseph Ratzinger to the Chair of Peter.

If you think that everything in the Catholic Church is now hunky dory,
think again.   If you think that Donald Wuerl is a holy holy man, it's be-
cause you haven't encountered him on any personal basis.   Concerning
you who, in the Year 2002, heard Wuerl being called a "holy holy man"
on local Pittsburgh television, did it ever occur to you that possibly, just
possibly, he was called a holy man by a woman on his payroll?  Ever so
coincidentally, that woman looked exactly like one who conducted re-
treats at St. Paul's on the South Side of Pittsburgh.

You have to start thinking.   As far as go the "sovereign" Vatican, it re-
fused to comply with the U.N. treaty on child's safety for thirteen con-
secutive years.

The Donald Wuerl who was observed acting "girly" in days past recently
orchestrated ploys that made it look as if he and SNAP are good buddies.
He made it look as if he has solidarity with sex abuse survivors.  He made
it look as if he really cares.  This made it look as if Wuerl would fulfill all
of SNAP's needs and that everyone can now go home and not think of the
sex abuse scandal ever again.  Well, the truth is that SNAP members need
your help more now, being that Wuerl has been a deceptive antagonist to it.

In April of 2010, SNAP members were demonstrating outside of the DC
cathedral.   Wuerl walked out, making it look as if he were in solidarity
with SNAP.   Stop there.   Wuerl was the reason why SNAP members
were protesting, in the first place.   If Wuerl were doing what was right,
the demonstration would never have occurred.   The links to the bitter
complaints of SNAP against power grabbing Donald Wuerl are posted
above.

If Donald Wuerl had nothing to hide, do you think that he would have
spent the last nine years incessantly tooting his own horn?  Wuerl's horn
tooting was his diversion tactic.   In not caring about the three retaliation
victims of the Father James Torquato who spent years refusing to keep
his hands to himself, Wuerl showed that he had zero concern for clergy
abuse victims, relatives of clergy abuse victims, and advocates of clergy
abuse victims.  Wuerl showed that he only cared about his image.

There was 1} Wuerl's triple cover-up, 2} George Zirwas, 3} the Sotak retaliation against Sotak's credible accuser, 3} the Fr. Huff musical chairs game between St. Louis and Pittsburgh, 4} the hot potato game played with the John Hoehl whom Wuerl reinstated into ministry,  

5} Ernest Paone,  6} the Torquato retaliations, 7}  Wellinger,  8} William P O'Malley,  9} Fr Krawczyk & the sudden death of Billy Gaines, 10} Wuerl's criminal negligence & dereliction of duty in the sweat shop labor scandal, 11} his selling of church property to a secret society to which the church affixed excommunication, 12} and Wuerl using the Cipolla Case in a misrepresented fashion, in order to serve as a smoke screen that hid Wuerl's many cover-ups.

A Jesuit novice director's note of Wuerl's seminary contradiction

The following Jesuit comment about
a major Donald Wuerl contradiction
is more pertinent today, in light of the
recent news of the NYC archdiocese
and the equally disgraced Altoona-
Johnson diocese.

And why?  It's because the aged Don-
ald Wuerl was pivotal in the office of
"priestly formation" for decades.   He
was enough of an insider to have seen
how frequent was the homosexual in-
filtration of the priesthood.  Yet, Wuerl
lied to the public, in stating that Ameri-
can seminaries were reliable & healthy.

The priests in power today were actively in ministry during Wuerl's younger
years.  These priests included flamers who turned their unnatural inclinations
into a life-long commitment ... all the way to the point of seeking to make the
Sin of Sodom declared holy and sacramental.  Donald Wuerl had access to the
seminarians so succinctly that he easily would know how Sodomized the Cath-
olic priesthood was becoming.  However, the notably effeminate Donald Wuerl,
known for his his trademark "whispery public voice," remained silent.  Then
again, Wuerl spoke loudly by appropriating banned Dignity masses two a
week for eight consecutive years, in two Pittsburgh parishes where youths
could easily be found.

Then, Wuerl was caught in his triple cover-up,  Simultaneously was a fourth
priest whom Wuerl was covering-up so much so that he put the priest back
into ministry.  The fourth priest was John S. Hoehl, former headmaster of a
Pittsburgh Catholic diocesan high school.

When Wuerl put Hoehl back into ministry, he was spitting in the face of the
dozens of people who knew how frequent and notorious Hoehl's unnatural
transgressions were.

None the less, after the Wolk-Zula-Pucci cover-up was uncovered, Wuerl
fell in need of a scapegoat.  He found one.  The specifics on this is stated
in multiple & previous Wuerlgate posts (articles.)

Wuerl simultaneously allowed in his former diocese two weekly Sodomite
Masses, euphemistically called Dignity Masses.  One of the priests who of-
ficiated those Masses would be doubly accused of sexual offenses to the
point of being corralled by Church authorities.  Throughout that time, the
doubly accused priest was being given free-reign by Wuerl, to spread the
heresy which claims that the Sin of Sodom isn't a sin.  Wuerl gave this
priest free-reign while being paraded around as a heroic bishop fighting
the Vatican to remove a molester.  This was the epitome of hypocrisy.

All in all, only a militant homosexual bishop would have interest, the
preoccupation, and the audacity to accommodate two weekly Sodom
& Gomorrah Masses for eight consecutive years, in complete defiance
of a Vatican rule.

The venue of the other weekly Dignity Mass permitted by Wuerl.

In addition, Father John Wellinger was already reported to the diocese, but
the witness to Wellinger's conduct was ignored.  Add to this the Fr Edward
Huff whom Wuerl hid in St. Louis and then later reinstated in Pittsburgh.
Huff would later be indicted and convicted.

In Wuerl, we have a con artist as bad as Dolan.  The only reason why the NYC
archdiocese had so many more cover-ups than did the Pittsburgh Diocese was
because of the NYC area population.  It's population is/was EIGHT times great-
er than the Pittsburgh area.  Thus, if the NYC archdiocese had even seven times
more cover-ups than did the Diocese of Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh diocese would
statistically be the more corrupt diocese, on a per capita basis.

Plus, in Pittsburgh having a smaller population, it was easier for Wuerl to
corrupt the local media and put it on his puppet strings.  Even at that, in the
beginning, Wuerl was not getting media praise.  He was being reported for
cover-up conduct and for causing protesters to march in complaint of him.
Then Wuerl began his retaliation process which consisted in the abuse of
the Pittsburgh diocesan administrative offices ... the abuse of power.

Back to Wuerl

Wuerl was part of the Seminary Visitation program in the 1990s.  Due to this,
the same Donald Wuerl would issue statement pertaining to America semi-
nary administering.  Thus came a response from a Jesuit involved in priest-
ly formation.  Priestly formation used to be called "training for the priest-
hood."

Donald Wuerl had a vocation director proverbially

scratching his head, concerning an article Wuerl

wrote in 2002.  

It was the Year of the Dallas Conference ... the year when the church's widespread sex abuse crisis made front page news.  

It was also the year when Ann Rodgers (of Pgh Post Gazette) was falsely claiming that Wuerl had a clean sex

abuse record, after his 1988 enlightenment.  It was 2002 when Supreme Court briefs in complaint of Wuerl were filed at the clerk of court's office.

Of course, the deceiver, Ann Rodgers, despite the fact that she is NOT a
Roman Catholic ...  or any type of Catholic in union with the Holy See of
Peter, was made head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh's Com-
munications Department.  The conjecture spoken to me was that she was
hired for the job, because she knows and complies with all the cover-ups.
After all, it was alleged to me by two different persons that Rodgers knew
all about the Torquato case and covered it in the spirit of pre-2002 Church
Corruption.

For some individuals, the Jesuit novice director's comment provides a
Eureka Moment, years after the fact.  It shows that church officials knew
that something was deadly wrong with the seminaries of the United States,
despite the fact that they were claiming that everything was wonderful at
those places.  It also shows how Wuerl repeatedly contradicted himself.

The following exact quote comes from
http://www.americamagazine.org/content/article.cfm?article_id=2580

Visitation

As novice director for the past eight years, I read Bishop Donald 
W. Wuerl’s “Seminary Visitation” (9/30) with great interest.  I 
was particularly curious about the reasons why such a visit was 
necessary.

Bishop Wuerl does not state a clear reason, but he does explain 
that “the impetus for the proposed apostolic visitation is the re-

cent scandal involving the sexual abuse of minors by clergy and 

their subsequent reassignment to pastoral ministry.”

The article seems to imply that despite the “successful conclusion” 
of the last apostolic visitation (1981-90), something in priestly for-
mation in this country has gone terribly wrong.  If not, why anoth-
er visitation so soon?

Here are my questions.   Is it not true that the vast majority of sex-
ual abuse cases are among clergy who were ordained over 25 years 
ago?   It seems to me that fact is evidence that seminaries are cur-
rently doing a fine job.   What direct link is there between the cur-
rent sexual abuse scandal and seminary formation?

The second part of the “impetus” statement has to do with the re-
assignment of abusive priests.   What does that have to do with 
seminary formation?  Isn’t that the sole responsibility of the 
bishops?

The $43 million lie: The claim that Wuerl lived in a modest residence.

To start, this was Cardinal Wuerl's Pittsburgh residence for 18 years.   It's situated near 
the mansions of  Pittsburgh's 5th Avenue.  Wuerl's Washington DC residence has 
been a lavishly furnished $43 million structure situated along the luxurious Embassy Row, 
reminiscent of the abodes of the marquises and aristocrats of  Marie Antoinette's France.

Wuerl's $43 million Marie Antoinette Abode is actually another cover-up of Cardinal
Wuerl.  This is because Wuerl was made out to be a holy ascetic saint, living in a clos-
ed school.  That was a complete lie in that the first floor of the Embassy Row structure
is still a school.  However, it's called a learning center.  Well, that's what a school is.

The cover-up of Wuerl's lavish residence ... which spits in the face of a Jesus Christ
who slept on fishing boats and even the ground ...one was uncovered by the George
Neumayr whom attack dog Bill Donohue assassinated in character.  For those new
to the World of Cardinal Wuerl, Bill Donohue was a Pittsburgh-area professor who
ever-so-coincidentally became president of the Catholic League during Wuerl's ten-
ure there.  Donohue then proceeded to turn that organization into a dictatorial one-
man show, hogging the handsome salary allotment of the 501(c) charity.

It's hypocritically ironic that a person shamelessly goes about, making a hefty salary
off of a charity.  It's much like embezzlement, to say the least.  It certainly turns-off
people to the Catholicism which Donohue feigns to protect.  Of course, Donohue is
only protecting his financial accounts, giving the appearance of diligent service to a
church which is actually serving Donohue, instead.  Donohue is one of Wuerl's pit
bulls.

In multiple Wuerlgate articles,  I made mention of Cardinal Wuerl's Warwick
Terrace residence.  It was his dwelling while he was Bishop Donald Wuerl of
the Pittsburgh Roman Catholic Diocese.  I even posted photos of envelopes
which had as the return address 5078 Warwick Terrace, Pittsburgh PA.

It's located near the 5th Avenue mansions of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon
University from where came the world's first robotics institute.

It's comprises 24 total rooms, 11 bedrooms, and 6 bathrooms.  It was built in
1911 and was later donated to the Diocese of Pittsburgh in 1949.  It contains
an elevator, a wine cellar, and a fireplace. All in all, it has 9,986 square feet
of living space.

In addition, the yearly property tax for the residence stood in the vicinity of
$44,000.  Cardinal Wuerl's immediate successor, David Zubik, put it up for
sale, with a $2.5 million asking price.  It sold at $2 million.

Now, journalist Christopher Lamb, in sleight of hand deceptiveness, made it
sound as if Wuerl's Washington DC residence is a modest and austere setting.
He listed Wuerl amongst those bishops living in modest dwellings, describing
Wuel's present residence as "a flat above a now closed Catholic school."  He
therefore made it appear as if Wuerl were living in an abandoned warehouse.

Well, Wuerl presently lives in a $43,000,000 structure situated along the ex-
tremely luxurious Embassy Row.  He lives in the top floor penthouse which
happens to be furnished lavishly.  More specifically, Donald Marie-Antoinette
Wuerl  is located at 2200 California St., NW, Washington DC  20008.  Wuerl
is in the fourth floor penthouse.  Both places were more suitable for Louis XVI
& Marie Antoinette than for Sts. Francis and Clare of Assisi.

Now, the entrance road that takes one into the Warwick Terrace area is some-
thing I've passed at least 1,000 or 2,000 times or more.  This is simply because
Wilkins Avenue is the entraceway to Warwick Terrace and Wilkins is a busy
street that connects to 5th Avenue.  Sometimes I travel on Wilkins four and
six times a day.  So, one day I walked up to Warwick Terrace and took a few
photos of Wuerl's former residence for evidence purposes.  I wanted to make
sure that the reading public will be readily able to learn that the claim of Don-
ald Wuerl ever having lived in any type of modest setting as a bishop is a lie.

Again, this pictorial of Wuerl's swank Pittsburgh residence is only posted here
because of all of the false propaganda which presents Wuerl as an ascetic and
self-sacrificing angel of light.  Satan masquerades as an angel of light.  And so
do his servants.

Religious Hypocrisy Central ... when Wuerl lived here, that is.

Take note of the "Guard Dog On Duty" sign.  Not a friendly place.

To think, Wuerl's personal chef in DC drives a Mercedes.  Meanwhile,
Jesus slept on the ground and in fishing boats, John the Baptist lived
in heroic austerity, and St. Paul lived martyrdom until death.

Instead of calling this Warwick Terrace, it should have been called Hypocrisy Hill.

Plush and lush vegetation.  No poverty pangs here.

The John Jay Study and Gavin Group Reports: The Loaded Dice Reports

         Once again, keep in mind that this article also is a result of the
         fact that Doctor of the Church, Saint Francis de Sales, stated:

       It is an act of charity to cry out against the wolf                                                                        when he is among the sheep, wherever he is.
           (Introduction to the Devout Life, III, 29)

There was nothing sophisticated about it.  The data used in the John Jay
study was limited to that which was provided by the U.S. bishops.  It's
equivalent to having had the foxes provide the data for a chicken coop
study.  There was no oversight committee, no third party certification,
and no auditor with personal access to files.  This is pertinent to note,
in that the American bishops have long since lost their credibility.  In
the words of child protection advocate, Paul Kendrick, "the very 
definition of 'self audit' is 'conflict of interest.' "

The Gavin Report was similar.  In fact, former FBI agent William Gavin
stated after the fact:  "We didn't have the benefit of drilling down
into personnel files to see what might be there.  They were off 
limits."

Now, it was stated that the bishops made a good faith effort in provid-
ing statistics, at least in the John Jay Study.  However, no third party
proof was given that this is true.  Concerning the Gavin Group reports,
there is one piece of evidence which should enlighten you.   The Arch-
diocese of  Philadelphia passed the so-called Gavin audit every year.
However, a grand jury inquest discovered that 37 Philadelphia priests
in active ministry were attached to credible sexual abuse allegations.
This discovery entirely invalidates the Gavin Reports.  This means that
the reports where statistically proven to be bogus.

Concerning the John Jay Report that was funded by the bishops, 4%
of all priests committed sexual abuse between 1950 and 2002.   The
number of abusive priests was marked at 4,932.  Allegations against
them numbered 10,667.   Therefore, an average 1 in 25 priests com-
mitted sexual abuse of a minor.  Then there is the matter of persons
above the age of 18 who had the minds of 12 year old adolescents,
as well as those above the age of 18, 21, and even 30 who were sub-
jected to the various types of duress.

The conclusion is that Vatican II was a complete failure and needs to
be ignored, being that it was never a doctrinal council.  The church is
in immediate need of either Vatican III, or Lateran VIII, or Nicaea III,
or Constantinople V, or Lyons III, or Florence/Ferrara/Basel revisited,
or even a council in a city that has not yet hosted an ecumenical council.
Things cannot continue as Monkey Business as usual in the Vatican II,
post-Maciel, present Opus Dei church.  Eternity is at stake.

The Wicked Birthday Card from Torquato

Here is another piece of evidence, in the form of a card sent by Father
Torquato to his accuser during the years when he was committing re-
peated acts of physical sexual harassment upon his accuser, under the
guise of spiritual direction sessions.  It was not unheard of for certain
priests to claim that such physical contact was for the good of the lay-
man "being directed," even to the point of badgering the person in an
authoritarian tone of voice, as if the priest were speaking in the name
of the church's "new Vatican II directives."

Pillow Mint Wuerl's Soireés for the rich and influential

Call to mind the report of Donald Wuerl
holding soireés solely for the rich and in-
fluential at the Warwick Terrace house
when he was in Pittsburgh. Wuerl would
answer the door himself.  If you had ac-
cess to a multi-million dollar home and
millions of tax-free collection basket
money that other people earned, and
NOT you, the rich & influential would
think that you are a great person, too.

This is the mansion that Wuerl did NOT earn, but used for gaining influence among the rich.

At Wuerl's Warwick Terrace soireés, Pittsburgh diocesan seminarians and
deacons were required to dress in blazers and perform the duties of valet
and waiter.  This was the mass secularization of those who were pursuing
Holy Orders.  This worldliness was the opposite of their vocations, and it
was very reminiscent of Marcial Maciel Degollado and his obsession with
integrating worldly wealth and Christian Detachment, between his many
acts of molestation.

None the less, the Maciel-like worldliness was Wuerl's way of putting the
whole Pittsburgh power structure into his back pocket.   Very simply, he
would make himself look like Mr. Nice Guy, despite his infamous temper.
Anyone who would cry "foul" at Wuerl's injustices via lawsuit and formal
complaint would then be seen as the disgruntled aggressor.  Perhaps you
can call this the Joan Crawford Mask.

A Brief Lesson in Ecclesiology

Of course, as local ordinary of the Washington DC archdiocese, Donald
Wuerl lives in a penthouse atop of Our Lady of the Americas, situated in
the luxurious Embassey Row.  Yet, while at Pittsburgh, Wuerl lived in a
manor house, situated close to a box-type mansion rented by the Diocese
of Pittsbrgh to Opus Dei.  In fact, Wuerl did live in the general vicinty of
the structures of the financial tycoons and steel tycoons of Pittsburgh.

Regarding the phrase, "local ordinary," which simply means ruling bishop,
here's a quick lesson in Catholic Church government:  Firstly, there exists
ordinal numbers and cardinal numbers in the mathematical sciences.  In a
much similar fashion, there are ordinal bishops and cardinal bishops in the
Catholic Church.  None the less ...

Wuerl was sued many times, for differing reasons.  Yet, he prevailed time
after time after time.  In fact, shortly after he was caught performing his in-
famous triple cover-up by which he violated the Child Protective Services
Act, the presiding Allegheny County District Attorney, Robert Colville, de-
fended Wuerl before the public, via the press.  Colville's defense of a Don-
ald Wuerl who was blatantly as guilty as sin is found through the following
link, at the second jpeg posted there.  It shows that Wuerl got away with the
most flagrant and obvious of wrongs:

http://www.donaldwuerl.com/2011/12/pittsburgh-post-gazette-article.html

Also keep in mind that Donald Wuerl was repeatedly witnessed as having
habitually kowtowed to the rich, while ignoring the common citizen and
the poor.  For example, he would allegedly & habitually spend 20 minutes
with someone wealthy, while "allegedly" treating with instantaneous and
dismissive contempt a member of the common citizenry.  I witnessed this
contemptuousness personally.

Concerning the school tuition charity to which Wuerl was associated,
parents or guardians still had to pay a couple thousand dollars, to send
their economically disadvantaged children to a Catholic School.  Plus,
corporations paid donation dollars to this charity.  Donald Wuerl did
not have these children enter Catholic school for free.  The corporate
donation money covered the rest of the costs.  How much money did
Wuerl donate to this cause?

He closed parishes as if he were having a clearance sale.  He obsessed
himself with continually reminding parishioners to give to the Parish
Share Program, as if it were a charity drive.  The fact is that the Parish
Share Program was the church tax, as each parish had to pay its share.
He wasn't honest enough to state so.  He's a perpetual fraud who caused
a lot of pain.  Thus, he's insensitive too.

==================================================

I learned about Theodore McCarrick as far back as 2002. And Donald Wuerl didn't learn of his crimes & tort offenses until 2004? Oh, I don't think so.

Above: One of the well-built bridges of the posh Mundelein seminary grounds.
This seminary was NOT scandal-free.  Cardinal Wuerl deceived Americans
& the Vatican in having given "a clean bill of health" to it and the American
seminary system in general.  A monster was on the loose throughout Ameri-
ca's seminary system, and Donald Wuerl looked the other way. 

Note:  It was recently reported that Donald Wuerl knew of Theodore
McCarrick's sexual aggression as far back as 2004, due to a lawsuit
settlement.  Try again.  Go back into time even further.

Wuerl was intimately involved with the seminary "visitations" of the
1990s, as were promulgated by John Paul II.  Now, "Visitation" is an
euphemism for Inspection, and Donald Wuerl's involvement in those
inspections/visitations means that he was privy to everything occur-
ring in American seminaries earlier than 99% of anyone else.

Wuerl was involved even before he became a bishop.  Therefore, he
had to have known about McCarrick at the outset.  This is plausible,
being that Wuerl was discovered to have been one of the most suc-
cessful cover-up artist bishops of the Vatican II church.  Wuerl is
turning out to be far more unethical and deceitful than what even
the 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report stated.

Let us review:

For those unaware, Donald Wuerl was twice a part of a seminary inspect-
ion system known as Visitations.  After such visitations, he reported to
Rome that the seminaries in the United States were in sound and healthy
condition.  However, this was a lie, being that the seminaries were being
overrun by a cabal of Sodomites in power and a school of heretical teach-
ers placed in positions of administrative rank.  In fact, the seminaries were
severely lacking in the teaching of moral theology and other categories of
academic subject matter needed by priests.  Revelations of the pathetic
state of "priestly formation" in the United States were found in the book,
Goodbye, Good Men.

The alleged Vaseline Queen, Donald Wuerl  . . .  eight-year provider of week-
ly Sodomite Masses in two Pittsburgh parishes ... was principally involved in
that which used to be called "the training for the priesthood." Its new name
is now the spiffy title, Priestly Formation, and Wuerl was influential in that
department of the imploding Catholic Church.  The term, "training for the
priesthood" sounds more natural and gives the idea of SERVICE to human-
ity.  "Priestly formation" makes the priesthood sound like an elite cabal of
spiffy guys to important for you me and the rest of humanity.

One more thing:   In the 1990s, Catholic seminaries were frequently called
"Faggot Factories."  The idea of a Saint Patrick, a Saint Benedict of Nursia,
or a Saint Francis of Assisi going on a forty day fast in solitude was deleted
from the minds of the Donald Wuerls of the Vatican II church.  Pillow mints
replaced the manly 40-day fast.

Now, one of the seminaries visited by Wuerl and then assessed as healthy by
him was America's largest one, namely the Chicago-area seminary in Munde-
lein, Illinois.  Concerning this, I pass the Mundelein seminary grounds 3 to 15
times a week, whenever I'm not stationed in Pittsburgh.  So yesterday ... at the
time of this writing ... I took a camera into the public-access area of Mundelein,
and did a photo-shoot.  Below is a pictorial.

For the geographic record, Mundelein is located approximately 40 miles north
of downtown Chicago.  None the less, that geographic area is still regarded as
part of "Chicagoland."

Now, my purpose for posting Mundelein photos is to show you that Cardinal
Wuerl was only referring to the physical appearance of a posh seminary, when
he gave it his seal of approval.  He was not referring to the curriculum, the rule
of seminarian life, the character of the classroom instruction there or even the
discipline of Mundelein's seminarians.  This post, therefore, is to show you the
utter vanity & superficiality of a Cardinal Donald Wuerl who remains at the top
of a Catholic hierarchy that has been corrupted for too long a period of time.

A depiction of the 1858 Lourdes apparitions on Mundelein
seminary grounds.  There were secrets confided by the
Virgin Mary there, just like at Fatima Portugal.

Concerning Mundelein, even in recent years it housed priests known to have been
sexually abusive.  The pertinence of this is that Mundelein is located across a two-
lane highway from a Catholic high school ... and a jogging trail.

Even though the media and American bishops put forth the pretense in 2002 that
the seminaries would be reformed, along with priestly life in parishes, Mundelein
made the headlines for less-than-virtuous living a few years later.  This shows that
the bishops & their spokesmen were basically giving lip service in 2002, because
the all-so-enlightened Vatican II Church was embarrassingly backed against a wall.

It was 2002 when a number of Boston archdiocesan molester priests made the head-
lines, followed by mass exposure of sex abuse cover-ups throughout the continent-
sized United States.  Thus, 2002 is regarded as the "benchmark"  year for Church
reform.  But, this turned out to be mostly propaganda.  After all, the most notorious
molester in Church history (Maciel) remained free to roam throughout the world for
four additional years and the retaliatory Father James Torquato would eventually be
granted a pastorship in Wuerl's own Diocese of Pittsburgh.

Then, as recently as 2016 and 2017, the archdiocese of NYC turned out to be a ver-
itable Sodom & Gomorrah in the ranks of the NYC parish priesthood, resulting in
a million+ dollar lawsuit. 

Meanwhile, in the Summer of 2017, a few hundred yards from the papal residence
in Rome, the police raided an absentee cardinal's home and found a drug-ridden
rgy in progress.   A monsignor ended up being sent to a Roman drug detox unit.

All in all, a quote from a Vatican insider was recently alleged to be, "Homosexual 
practice in the Vatican has never been worse."  Thus, the Vatican has become the
New Sodom, thereby giving credibility to the Marian apparitions of Fatima Portu-
gal, Akita Japan, La Salette France, & Quito Ecuado, being that the hideous state
of priesthood and Church in general was prophesied.   In as much, whenever you
encounter a priest, nun, parish education director, deacon, seminarian, and/or Cath-
olic school teacher who rejects church-authenticated Marian apparitions, you can
now reasonably understand why.  It's the Brat Syndrome mingled with the Lazy
Slough-Off lifestyle.

Yes, this is the Mundelein seminary.

An irony to this era of sexual anarchy is that Catholic Church marriage law was
so morally-minded for centuries that Italy, ranging from the Mt Vesuvius region
to the northern Italian border, historically stands among the least inbred regions
on Earth, along with the traditionally Catholic Austria, the Netherlands, Denmark,
Southern Norway, Northeastern France, Western Germany, Southeastern England,
and a few other places such as the Basque region of Northern Spain.  However, the
same cannot be said of the Sicily and Calabria which stands in the middle range of
the statistics on the subject.

The offending priests of this present era spent their time of formation during the
years when Wuerl was influential in the aforesaid "priestly formation."  For ex-
ample, the Roman monsignor who was arrested  in a July 2017 police raid and
then sent to drug-detox is 26 years younger than Wuerl.  Thus, one must admit
that Wuerl was an utter failure at priestly formation reforms, unless his goal
was instituting the presence of Sodomite priests who have orgies, boyfriends,
and a habit of recreational drug use.  If that were his goal, then Cardinal Don-
ald Wuerl was a mighty success, indeed ... and the rest of us lost.

Cardinal Wuerl is one who chooses candidates for the episcopacy, and this is
something very distorting to the ranks of bishop and very disconcerting to de-
vout members of the Catholic laity.  Now, episcopacy refers to the college of
bishops.  So, one can expect Wuerl to chose for the rank of bishop those who
are like him.

For the record, the Donald Wuerl we encountered in Pittsburgh was a flaming
Tinker Bell and a huffy narcissist who committed acts of retaliation, as if do-
ing so were his God-given right.  He was also the Mad-Church-Closer, as well
as the host of canonically banned Dignity Masses.  His chronic disobedience
to the See of Peter was well-noted.  Now, he is being presented as the pope's
right hand man.

Even worse was Wuerl's decades of being an accessory, via willful neglect, to the
crime against humanity currently known as slave labor profiteering and formerly
known as Defraudment of Laborers of their Wages.   It's another one of the four
sins which cry to Heaven for Vengeance.  Wuerl is so full of narcissism and Self-
love that he believes himself to be immune to the Vengeance of the Eternal God.

Keep in mind that a person in power and/or influence becomes guilty before God
and any future Nuremberg-type tribunal for any crime to which a person benefits
and/or gives his tacit approval, as well as making a public defense of the crime in-
stitutionalized.  Wuerl's Sin of Silence, committed while he was morally obliged
to speak out, was his tacit approval.  He needs to be forced to work in sweatshop
labor conditions until he dies, as a punishment for his habitual Sin of Deliberate
Indifference ... Negligence ... Omission ... Selfishness.

Keep in mind that you can operate a seminary in war-torn ruins and in humble
venues, such as the hedgeland of Ireland which was the teaching grounds for
Catholics during the British persecution of Catholicism.  In fact, the very first
seminaries were the shores of Galilee and a few fishing boats, not to mention
the banks of the Jordan River operated by a recruiter named John the Baptist.
Thus, posh seminary grounds don't instantly make better seminary instruction.

All in all, we need to enter into the age of heroism, where people overcome their
cravings, their knee-jerk tempers, their egotism, and their more violent forms of
lust, as well as overcoming the Sin of Cowardice when confronted by political
thuggery.  The 21st Century Church must toss-away its present magnetism to the
lifestyle of the 18th Century French aristocrats who met their destinies at the edge
of guillotine blades.

The Catholic Catechism teachers of Ireland, during
the British persecution of the Roman Catholic Church,
were called Hedgemasters.  They kept Catholicism
alive under the danger of death.  Yet, Wuerl ripped
Catholicism apart while living in posh settings.

In case you are missing the point, keep in mind that these priests and Wuerl made 

a vow, in order to get the posh privileges that a clergyman gets in modern America 

and modernized Rome.  To make that vow and to then live the Sodomite lifestyle in

violation of a major vow is Theft by Deception.  It constitutes Grand Larceny.  If you 

break that priesthood vow on an habitual basis, then it's time for you to go.

Additionally remember that history repeats itself, being that the Eternal God is not
a spiritual shape-shifter who bows to the whims of mankind.  Therefore, the person
who fails to learn from the tragedies recorded in history are condemned to repeat
them.

This is one of two Rte 176 entrances.  Across the road is a Catholic high school.

It's known as Our Lady of the Lake University.  Here's the lake.

The lake, again.  This is officially Mundelein seminary grounds, also.

This is the ocula (roof opening) of a well-built tunnel on seminarian grounds.

Well, I did Wintertime photography of Mundelein, too.
Here's the lake under thawing ice.

The lake, yet again.

The previously mentioned tunnel of the seminary.

Mundelein in the Wintertime, yet again.

For the record, this was NOT photo-shopped or altered in
any way.  This is a common photographer's field trick, called
Sun Flaring.  I mention this, being that I get harassed for every-
thing I post which has popularity attached to it, and my photography
has gotten millions of pageviews (hits.)  So, I got harassed for it.

The Versailles of Chicagoland, aka Mundelein seminary grounds.

© Patrick Anthony Pontillo, along with all the other photos here.

Yes, it really does look like Versailles, France, but but but it's reminiscent
of a Virginian form of architectural design.    So, it actually looks like a
cross between Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and Versailles.

In review, it's not the look of the classrooms that matter.  Rather, it's the content of

the classroom teachings that do.  Wuerl ignored this and graded Mundelein as an

A+ seminary, simply based on its appearance . . . in my opinion.

Now, we need seminarians, being that we need a priesthood whose ordinations trace

directly back to the original apostles who happened to have been the original priests 

and bishops.  We simply need better bishops ... honest ones who aren't cowards when 

faced by the ways of the less-than-sanctified world and who don't dedicate themselves 

to living pampered, French aristocratic lifestyles.  Keep in mind that there are no more

French aristocrats.  They have been oxidized, to politely state it.

So, why do I mention this?  ANS: Because of the prophecy of Rianjo, when Christ

appeared from a consecrated host and stated to the Sister Lucia of Fatima fame that
the modern bishops are headed to the same destiny that was met by the King
of France.  The Rianjo prophecy is why I refer to Cardinal Wuerl's high-priced living
style as his Marie Antoinette lifestyle.
