Pope Francis accepts Cardinal Wuerl's resignation as D.C. archbishop

[@ryanyeakley5]

I love how this is made to look like he resigned because of the accusations, all Bishops are required to send a letter of resignation at the age of 75, but that doesn't mean it's going to be accepted immediately, it could be weeks, months, or years before it's accepted

Now the next step is to turn all living pedophiles over to the legal system and compensate the victims.

[@buddyhirshfield5970]

He needs to quit protecting bad priest

[@angelacasey6336]

Pope is worried in his letter about praising the cardinal,calling mistakes what he did ,I do not think it was appropriate to write that if you sincere

We urge all young people to vote. This is your time! You are the present and your future depends on YOU.

[@mars25250]

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself....How do people with no arms vote?

[@crlsch513y]

all child and sex abusers and crime concealers must step down and get into the rabbit hole, including those that are not who to judge Vigano, the great accuser, as the devil ;-)

[@sharonsmith1203]

They are all children of the devil. His resignation will be an early lovely retirement living off of more church funds. But his lavish lifestyle and evil nature will be held into account on his day of judgement.

The "man of sin" 2Thess.2:3,4 ie. the pope should have, suggested the arrest* for such detestable acts; just like the arrest of anyone else would be a reality. Ezekiel 28:2,9/ 2 Thess.2:3,4 - since bishop of Rome has accepted the blasphemous position, and titles, why didn't he at least act like God ??? Ecclesiastes 8:11/ 12:14 May the "real" God, bless everyone who seek Him Hebrews 11:6/John 14:6

[@braydenh190]

I only like Cardinal Copia

One more comment. It appears that this is being done on purpose...so the masses of humanity will unite together under a "Parliament of Religions" where there are *no definates. Just do kindly acts toward one another and it doesnt matter what you definitely believe. But, 1 John 2:17 World is still passing away...Matt.24:20-22 and grt.tribulation is up ahead. No definates, and anything goes; especially concerning God. Leads to humanities destruction. Isa.8:9,10-12 donot confederate, because the small 1% religious/state few tell you to confederate; unite. That arrangement shall be broken in pieces by God. Acts 4:12/1Tim.2:5,6

[@zachelmquist4932]

I am sure that their are good people in the Catholic Church. All the evil people need to be arrested and brought to justice. Covering up the haneous crimes and protecting these sick monsters in a failure in everyway. The Pope has done wrong by not taking the right actions.

[@jxsilicon9]

There are no good people in that evil cult.

[@nobodyspecial1200]

when would the church release the names of abusers in other parts of the world?

[@CriticalBreak]

And why r these people not being charged in aiding & a bedding? Same old shell game... Tucking them neatly under the rug in administrative roles.....this is the evil on this planet & all roads lead 2 rome. Why is no 1 demanding them b held accountable????? ∞

[@robinhensley6228]

I thought it was required by law to report child abuse abuse. How about some jail time here?

[@erikriza7165]

getting rid of wuerl and mcCarrick is at least two things the Pope did right

[@markw4318]

The pope seems quite peculiar himself.

[@robertolaseria9303]

Cardenal encubre abusadores y diciendo la Misa de Navidad. Que verguenza!!!!

[@daviddennison1385]

I had such high hopes for this Priest but they cover up for the sins of the Priests continues to under his Reign. People have lost faith in organized religion and we all headed to even darker times as people have also have lost faith in their Government as well. The age of men being in charge is coming to and end.

[@jools2363]

*laughs in 7th day Adventist*

[@doloresboston8571]

NEXT.........The Pope and all those under him ( no pun intended).

[@peterpandemonium3336]

Our Fondling Fathers... The Catholic Church's basic commodity is Forgiveness and Redemption. Why wouldn't they extend those to their own? Except of course they run afoul of civil and criminal law. And the Church is above that. No more.

[@cliffordishii3738]

Biblical Christians are not obligated to obey our church leaders or any human leader if they violate God's word, and so can Catholics if they become Biblical Christians.

[@jacobadam4556]

That dude was the Catholic sith lord

[@franciscofranco512]

Now just take his Cardinal`s hat. That way it`s more likely that a good Conservative who opposes sexual perversity can be elected to replace Francis.

[@maryjeremiah5539]

Why has this taken so long?

[@bolafson]

What took so long. Anyway, it is done and a good thing.

[@hanklogsdon8390]

Just disgusted at this point with the Catholic hierarchy. They have disgraced the faith. I am ashamed to to be Catholic.

[@mosesfrederick7548]

You dont have to be ashamed of your faith Hank Logsdon. The Catholic Church is the one true Church founded by Jesus Christ himself. The problem the Church is facing today is just a passing thing. It will soon be over. Since you are a Catholic, all you need to do at this time is to pray for the unity of the Church, especially the Hierarchy. I am Still proud to be a Catholic no matter what the Church is facing from Critics and Haters. .

[@franciscofranco512]

Be proud of people like Cardinal Burke, Archbishop Vigano, Cardinal Chaput, all who are fighting this while being attacked by the media and even their own pope.

[@memyselfandi9325]

This Poop is demonic!

[@onecryinginthewilderness5981]

stop calling this fleshly man holy father, there is only one HOLY FATHER, his name is not France's or pope to call a mear freshly man holy father is blasphemy he's about as holy as a rattle snake.and he is not the voice of God, the Holy Spirit is the voice of God he speaks in a clam mannor directly to your heart you don't need a pope or preist or cardinal God will speak to you on a personal base's if your willing to listen to him.
