Wuerl to be Installed Today

In a Mass that is scheduled to take two hours and be attended 75 bishops and 250 priests, Donald Wuerl the former Archbishop of Pittsburgh will be installed as the new Archbishop of Washington DC, replacing Theodore McCarrick.

This is good new for DC as Wuerl is reportedly a moderate and a champion on social justice issues. It also may be good news for New Jersey. McCarrick will continue serving on four Vatican tribunals and divide his time between Hyattsville, Maryland and Seton Hall in South Orange. Perhaps encourage the NJ bishops to put a little more love and compassion into the current legislative agenda and help give them the courage to talk about the most pressing issue of our time... the reality of an unjust, immoral, illegal and possibly never ending war and occupation of Iraq & Afghanistan.
