Send Bishop Barron to Washington
SIR – “Few would deny that 2018 was an annus horribilis for the Catholic Church in the United States.” So write the editors of the Jesuit weekly, America.
Ed Condon of the Catholic News Agency writes about one aspect of this horror in his recent article about “The Fall of Cardinal Wuerl”, the now retired and discredited Archbishop of Washington. “Washington Catholics,” Condon writes, “are saying they want a bishop with the courage to make decisions rooted in truth and justice, not policy and procedure, and one with the mind and heart to explain those decisions patiently, and without reservation, to a world which may not understand or accept them.”
