WASHINGTON – In timp ce arhiepiscopia Washingtonului a sarbatorit marti deschiderea scolii cu o masa speciala, un grup de profesori a marcat in schimb ocazia apeland la inlaturarea arhiepiscopului imbracat al Capitalei, cardinalul Donald Wuerl.
Cardinalul este printre mai multi lideri catolici americani implicati in scandalul in crestere a abuzurilor sexuale care inconjoara biserica. In aceasta luna, numele cardinalului Wuerl a aparut intr-un raport al juriului din Pennsylvania, care a citat cazuri cand cardinalul, apoi episcopul din Pittsburgh, a permis preotilor abuzatori din nou in slujire. Apoi, in weekend, cardinalul Wuerl a fost acuzat de un fost diplomat al Vaticanului ca a stiut despre comportamentele sexuale ale predecesorului sau din eparhia de la Washington, Theodore E. McCarrick.
O declaratie care a strans aproximativ 50 de semnaturi din partea profesorilor din eparhia din Washington, a anuntat ca boicoteaza Masa marti, tinuta la Bazilica Altarului National al Imacularii Conceptiei, ca „un act de solidaritate impotriva nedreptatilor condamnate de cardinalul Wuerl si mai mare ierarhia Bisericii. ” Ei au tinut o scurta slujba de rugaciune in afara bazilicii pentru a se ruga pentru supravietuitori si victime.
“Motivul pentru care facem acest lucru este pentru ca copiii sunt importanti pentru noi, iar educatia lor este importanta pentru noi”, a declarat Jack Devlin, 27 de ani, un profesor local care a stat cu mai multi colegi la marginea bazilicii sub un copac din apropiere, care tinea semne infasurate. cu versete biblice despre dreptate. “Ne pasa. Acest lucru este personal. “
Cunoscut ca un excelent manager, cardinalul Wuerl si-a pus bazele pe periculul sau de inalta calitate din capitala natiunii, sediul sau in comitetul Vatican care numeste episcopi si, mai recent, apropierea sa cu Papa Francisc pentru a detine o putere considerabila in biserica. Dar demonstratia profesorului a fost cel mai recent semn al presiunii asupra cardinalului Wuerl care s-a construit in ultimele saptamani.
Protestatarii s-au adunat regulat in afara Catedralei Sf. Matei. Vandalii au desfacut un semn care poarta numele cardinalului Wuerl la liceul Cardolic Wuerl North Catholic High School din Cranberry, Pa., Care este acum redenumit. Iar reverele Percival L. D’Silva, la Altarul Preasfantului Sacrament, o parohie din Washington, a chemat cardinalul sa demisioneze pentru rolul sau in supravegherea preotilor abuzatori.
„Nu-mi imaginez ca este usor sa-si faca treaba zilnic, cand presa din toate partile urmareste aceste povesti, iar protestele si apelurile pentru demisia lui vin din mai multe parti”, a declarat Stephen Schneck, fostul director a Institutului de Cercetari Politice din Universitatea Catolica din America.
Cunoscut anterior ca un campion al supravietuitorilor abuzurilor sexuale, cardinalul Wuerl in 2002 a luptat cu renume pentru un ordin din partea Vaticanului de a restabili un preot, Anthony J. Cipolla, care anterior abuzase copii. Cardinalul Wuerl nu a fost acuzat de abuz in investigatia din Pennsylvania, iar marele juriu il raporteaza cu interventia in alte cazuri pentru a preveni preotii abuzivi sa revina la slujba, lucru neobisnuit la acea vreme. Dar, de asemenea, citeaza cazuri in care el a permis preotilor sa se intoarca in parohi dupa tratament, inclusiv unul al carui presupus abuz sexual a continuat.

And last week, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, the former Vatican ambassador to the United States, leveled a new allegation at the cardinal, writing in a widely circulated letter that he was informed by the Vatican about sexual misconduct committed by his predecessor in the Washington diocese, former Cardinal McCarrick.
On Tuesday, the archdiocese emphatically denied that accusation.
“Cardinal Wuerl has categorically denied that any of this information was communicated to him,” the statement said. “Archbishop Vigano at no time provided Cardinal Wuerl any information about an alleged document from Pope Benedict XVI with directives of any sort from Rome regarding Archbishop McCarrick.”
Cardinal Wuerl’s defenders say the movement against him is at least partly rooted in ideological differences. The cardinal is seen as an ally of Pope Francis’ liberal reforms.
“Someone’s scalp must go,” said Michael Sean Winters, a columnist for the National Catholic Reporter. “And what is especially irresponsible is that there are people who hate the cardinal for reasons that have nothing to do with protecting children.”
Mr. Winters said several bishops had probably made similar decisions as Cardinal Wuerl in reassigning priests that they now know should not have been reassigned, particularly on recommendations from psychiatrists.

The grand jury report, he said, was being treated as a verdict as opposed to a series of claims.
But for some Catholics, it was the cardinal’s actions, and his initial response to the grand jury report — in which he stated that “I think I did everything I possibly could” — that was unforgivable.
“I was appalled by his response, not even saying he’s sorry,” said Becky Ianni, leader of the Washington chapter of SNAP, the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, which last week also called for the cardinal’s removal. “As far as I’m concerned, his inaction allowed other children to be hurt,” she said.
And the teachers’ petition, addressed to the Vatican’s liaison to Catholics in the United States, asks for Cardinal Wuerl’s removal simply on the grounds that he “has been complicit in the abuse of children.”
The cardinal, 77, has already offered his resignation, as all Catholic bishops are required to do at 75. But it is Pope Francis who determines whether he will actually leave his post in Washington. “If Pope Francis wants him to stay on, Cardinal Wuerl will stay on,” Dr. Schneck said.
