A giant and a lion fighting for Jesus Christ. Eternal rest grant unto George your Servant, O LORD, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
Devasting news.
"Malaria."
Sure.
Who will pick up the torch?
Courtesy of Restore DC-Catholicism we find that journalist and writer, George Neumayr, has been booted out of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception at the apparent orders of Cardinal Archbishop of Washington, Donald Wuerl. Neumayr has been critical of Wuerl in the past, but his move to remove from the church a respected journalist reveals more about him than Neumayr who has been reporting on this other "Donald's" lavish Washington apartment. I attended the publicly advertised but sparsely populated event as a member of the press. I showed up in a suit and tie. I stood quietly near the table at which Wuerl was going to sign books. He arrived and I politely shook his hand. He gave me a serpentine grin and moved towards the table. A few moments later two police officers arrived and said to me that the Basilica bookstore was "private property" and that the Church wanted me "escorted off the property."Why would Cardinal Wuerl have a member of the press removed from Church property by the police during a book signing? Because I have been investigating Wuerl's corrupt use of the faithful's money. He has been furtively using donations to finance a multimillionaire penthouse on Embassy Row. His press secretary has denied every one of my requests for an interview and so I have sought to interview Wuerl and priests with whom he has lived at the penthouse by typical journalistic means. Outrageously, Wuerl has used my mere reporting as a pretext to call the police on me. This is the "transparent," "accessible," and "accountable" Church of Pope Francis? May God help us all.In all of my years of reporting, I have never seen a churchman as deviously insular and elitist as Wuerl. On the hard-earned donations of the faithful, he has lived like a Borgia-era cardinal, indulging his affluent tastes while eschewing his flock and ignoring or abusing his priests. His exploitation of the faithful's funds is made even more gross by his subversive heterodoxy, on display at the recent Synod on the Family and in his defense of Communion for pro-abortion pols and other checkered Catholics. He takes the faithful's money to bankroll his ecclesiastical perks while seeking to separate those faithful from the orthodox teachings of the Church.So if any of you lawyers/media experts/journalists want to lend me a hand as I defend my rights as a journalist/Catholic and expose the corruption of Cardinal Wuerl, please send me an e-mail. Thanks.Also, look tomorrow for my interview on this subject with ChurchMilitant TV.
