- Donald Wuerl's indifference toward a crime against humanity
which has included child slave labor profiteering. (Included is
a brief outline on how that sin mathematically depletes
an offending nation's economy.)
- Donald Wuerl's long-term indifference toward yet another
corporatewide sin to which multitudes in America have
been indifferent & complicit.
- The matter concerning a character assassination which was
originally leveled at two persons, but which now constitutes
one leveled at administrators and student body members of
Notre Dame, Holy Cross, Georgetown, DePaul, Villanova,
Saint Mary's, Fordham, Duquesne, sixteen other Catholic
colleges, the Claretian Roman Catholic Religious Order,
Immaculata High School (of Sommerville, NJ), Toronto
Catholic District School Board, and Donald Wuerl's own
predecessor, Archbishop Theodore McCarrick.
- An intimidation tactic utilized by Donald Wuerl and a retalia-
tory ultimatum that he imposed upon a number parents who
fulfilled their part of a broken agreement, in their attempt to
keep Wuerl from closing their children's school.
- The Cult of Personality; Exagerrated Laurels, Exaggerative
Descriptions, and the Joseph Stalin Complex (Included is
a segment that draws the reader's attention to the fact
that the "prestigious" Elizabeth Ann Seton Award which
was given to Donald Wuerl in 1995 is an award that can
be won by any person on earth who has a sizable bank
account or a sizable amount of corporate funding.)

The Sin of Silence
The Contradiction Found in the Media
Praise/Endorsement of Donald Wuerl
As was mentioned in Part 1, the media praise given to Donald
Wuerl contradicts itself in the following way:
Donald Wuerl is heralded as a protector of
children, yet he has been entirely silent about
a corporate practice that victimizes children far
more frequently than does the predatorship of
priests who should have never been ordained
in the first place.
That practice is the child slave labor profiteering, and through-
out Donald Wuerl's years of indifference, it has involved the
importation of inventory to the United States from Africa,
the Caribbean, Central America, South America, and Asia.
Needless to say, Donald Wuerl has been equally indifferent
toward the sweatshop and slave labor which has been im-
posed upon foreign adults. Yet, adults are the ones who
have children dependent upon them for survival.
One of the Four Sins that Cry to Heaven for Vengeance
Formerly known as the Defraudment of Laborers of their
Wages, slave labor profiteering has long since been identified
in Catholic Church teaching as one of the four sins that cry to
Heaven for vengeance. Bishops are morally obligated to see
to it that the Catholic Faithful live free of the Sin of Coopera-
tion. And this includes freedom from the sin of sweatshop &
slave labor profiteering. This additionally includes bishops
approving initiatives and apostolates designed to end the co-
operation.
As a side note, apostolates were formerly known as Catholic
Action Guilds, even in the 20th Century. And a phrase syn-
onymous with Social Sin is Corporate Sin. Corporate Sin is
not limited to the activities of corporations. A corporate sin
is a widely committed sin that is given the fuel to perpetuate
itself via the cooperation of an entire society. That is to say,
a corporate sin occurs when the vast majority of society makes
itself an accessory to that sin.
Now, Vatican II states that the Church, by its nature, is mis-
sionary. This includes its instinct to rally to causes, establish
initiatives, and as Saint Paul phrased it, to "fight the good fight."
In sequence, Pope Paul VI once stated that the renewal of the
temporal order is the vocation of the laity. And bishops are
morally obligated to provide the laity with the assistance neces-
sary for it to fulfill its vocation.
The Economic Downslide Effect of
Foreign Slave Labor Profiteering
Foreign slave labor profiteering acheives the following results:
- Increases an offending nation's international trade deficit.
- Reduces the same nation's gross domestic product.
- Deceases the offending nation's per capita income.
During the Year 2005 alone, the United States trade balance
deficit, in its trading with China, was over $200 billion. The
United States total trade balance deficit for that same year
was to $716 billion. In as much, slave laboring profiteering
does not make an offending nation wealthy.
A Crime Committed upon the Parent
is a Crime Committed upon the Child,
and Visa Versa
An injustice thrusted upon adults is one that is equally forced
upon their children. Poverty in the home of the parent is pov-
erty in the home of the child. Sweatshop labor imposed upon
adults is an evil that also assails children. In light of this, Wuerl's
indifference toward adult sweatshop labor has been an act of
violence toward children. Donald Wuerl, therefore, is not the
great protector of children that he has been made out to be.
The Laws Against this Type of Profiteering Were
Already on the Books, in United States Federal Law.
It would not have required any courage for Donald Wuerl to
have stepped forth and initiate movements designed to end
the Catholic Faithful's complicity with slave labor profiteering.
This is because laws against it are already on the books. For
example, there is Section 307 of the 1930 Tariff Act, as well
as the May 2000 amendment to that act. Both are found in
19 USC 1307. And there was also executive order #13126,
titled Prohibition of Acquisition of Products Produced by
Forced or Indentured Child Labor. Added to that are a
few international conventions which have already been signed
by the United States but not yet ratified by a 2/3 senate vote.
In light of these things, one can see that there was no risk for
Wuerl to have awakened the consciences of American Cath-
olics in this matter. Yet, he remained silent.
Despite the Law, Sweatshop Labor
Importation Has Been Rampant
There is a loophole in the 1930 Tariff Act. The law does not
prohibit the importation of indentured/slave/convict labor pro-
ducts "which are not mined, produced, or manufactured
in such quantities in the United States as to meet the con-
sumptive demands of the United States." In addition, there
are recent trade agreements that do not require the enforce-
ment of international labor laws. Plus, there is the allegation
that the 1930 Tariff Act is not being enforced when it is appli-
cable to do so.
Now, the names of the corporations who have capitalized on
sweatshop & slave labor have long since been posted through-
out the Internet, and some have faced federal lawsuits. In fact,
the offending corporations were often household names.
The amount of information on this topic which has been made
available is so vast that it would require at least one entire web-
page, in order to post the weblinks that will lead you to the
related statistics, labor abuse accounts, news, lawsuit updates,
government websites, and private organization websites. Yet,
Donald Wuerl and his Pittsburgh diocesan personnel remained
so silent & inactive that it created the illusion, among Western
Pennsylvanians that sweatshop labor importation was virtually
non-existent.
When You Liberate Others, You Liberate Yourself
A properly paid foreign worker has a way of increasing the
product demand for American products, even from a third
party nation. And such a thing can put the American pro-
duction worker back into job competition. It can also enable
mid-sized entrepeneurs to either compete in smaller scaled
markets or more easily enter the ranks of subcontractor, sim-
ply by virtue of increased demand.
Slave Labor Profiteering is Even an Injustice
to the Citizenry of the Nation that Engages in it
Foreign slave labor profiteering results in unfair advantages
over the citizens of the nation that practices it. This is be-
cause those who heavily profit from foreign slave labor steal
economic power from the multitudes, and in the process, they
steal multiple advantages from their fellow countrymen. That
is to say, they cheat in order to get their standing in life, and
that is unfair to everyone else. Foreign slave labor profiteer-
ing, therefore, is even an act of violence upon an offending
nation's own citizenry.
The largest corporation in the world, from 2002 to 2005, was
one known for its sweatshop labor profiteering. Even in Year
2006 it was ranked second in the world. Moreover, it has
had thousands of labor law actions filed against it by aggrieved
American workers. Therefore, the grief it has caused has not
been limited to foreign production line workers. In fact, one
report marked it as having been cited for 1,400 labor law vio-
lations in the State of Maine alone. In as much, that which you
are willing to let happen to foreign workers is that which you
are willing to let happen to your own countrymen, if of course,
you can get away with it.
Coast to Coast Crime
If you deny that you are part of this practice, simply go into
your closet and read the labels on your clothing. Then go into
your kitchen and read the labels on your appliances. In fact,
go throughout your house, your place of work, and elsewhere,
reading the labels on the newer merchandise. If you have any
of the merchandise, then the practice of slave labor profiteer-
ing has reached your life In addition, if you work for a slave
labor profiteering corporation, then you are involved.
The Sin of Silence
In order to understand the Sin of Silence, see: Ezekiel 3:18.
And keep in mind that there are ten commandments, and not
merely three. There are seven deadly sins, and not merely two.
And there are four sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance; not
merely one. In addition, there are nine ways in which a person
can be an accessory to sin. Silence is one of the nine ways.
The bottom line is this: When priests were morally required
to dedicate time to ending the Catholic Faithful's cooperation
with social sin, they were spending that time turning the church
a country club and an incessant photo op.
Repeatedly Ignored by Wuerl
As far back as 1994, and even in 1998, I petitioned Wuerl
for an apostolate or an initiative dedicated to ending the crime
of foreign slave labor profiteering, among other sins. Need-
less to say, Wuerl never granted it. Yet, he took one of the
petitions out of my hands, in person. However, he held it for
a total of three seconds, putting it in the hands of one of his
personal secretaries. And he looked very hateful while doing
so. In fact, he had a determined look on his face, in the quest
to get that petition off his hands as soon as possible.
Immediately after rejecting me, Wuerl walked over to a lady
and her daughter, in order to receive their praise and adulation
of him. Meanwhile, many workers went to bed impoverished
that night. The same workers would then go to bed impover-
ished for the rest of that year, for the rest of that decade, and
into the 21st Century. Yet, Wuerl continued going around, ac-
cepting the praise & adulation of his 5'4" or 5'5" countenance.
Incidentally, as the years progressed, Wuerl's people finally
admitted that they were only interested in helping people who
were able to be fitted into an income-bearing and taxpayer-
funded diocesan program.
Wuerl's Silence Started to Backfire
to the Point of a Razor Close Encounter
And how did Wuerl's silence start to backfire?
ANS: HR 4437 -- The House version of the immigration bill,
which was passed by on December 16, 2005, shortly before
the season of charity & good will toward men/women/children.
That bill did not reflect any peace on earth and goodwill toward
men.
Earlier this year, in May 2006, Wuerl took a congressman
aside and asked him, "Do you really want us to go to jail
for helping people." Well, I tried to help those same people
twelve, eight, and six years ago, but Wuerl was disrespectfully
unresponsive. My way of helping them would have given them
a humble measure of freedom in their own lands, and not de-
pendency upon taxpayer-funded church operations, once these
people made their way into the United States, out of desperate
need.
In having neglected to rally to the cause 12 years ago, Donald
Wuerl proved himself to not be a visionary. In continuing to
not rally to the cause eight years ago, Donald Wuerl proved
himself to be short-sighted. And in remaining obstinately si-
lent six years ago, Wuerl was continuing to spit in the face of
underpaid foreign workers whose numbers included those of
the hispanic nations. The irony to this is that Wuerl now heads
an archdiocese significantly populated by the Hispanic com-
munity.
Let us review:
Q: What has been causing the influx of immigrants through the
southern United States borderline? ANS: Poverty.
Q: And what caused the poverty?
ANS: Drastically low wages.
In summary, if Wuerl would have responsed to the call to duty
12 years ago, chances are that he would not have found himself
in the predicament that the church recently found itself, until
the U.S. Senate came to the rescue.

Faith Without Good Works is a Sick Joke
The Day of the Lord
And then there is the matter of the Desecration of Sunday,
where the day consecrated by the Resurrection has now been
dedicated to the god of profit, on a hymnal of time cards.
Stated for the record, the desecration of the sabbath does
not occur in the matter of necessary operations, such as gas
stations, power plants, and hospitals. And it does not pertain
to operations that contribute to rest and relaxation, such as a
State Park's boat rental shop.
Desecrating the Face of God
The desecration of Sunday has been recognized in Catholic
Spirituality as one of the two sins against the Holy Face of
Jesus. Now, the Holy Face of Jesus is a title that symbol-
ically represents the Presence of God. And the desecration
of Sunday distorts the instinctual ability to discern satanic
impulses from angelic ones.
Sacred Scripture reminds us that "even Satan masquerades
as an angel of light." In sequence, a society that desecrates
the Sabbath is one whose people are easy to deceive. And as
a result, in a Western society that has long since lost its spiritual
sonar, Donald Wuerl is being presented by the media as an
angel of light.
A Sin Against Ecology
The desecration of Sunday not only suffocates the sense of
the sacred within a person's instinctual faculties, it is also a
sin against ecology. The sabbath rest replenishes that which
has been depleted, while it drains that which has been accum-
ulated in excess. It puts things back into perspective, body,
soul, and mind. In the 70s, the expression was "getting your
head together." Then came the widespread desecration of the
sabbath. And in the 80s & 90s a new expression came into
use, describing desecration era priests' new form of commun-
ication. The expression was "psycho-babble head games."
Thus, we went from the age of getting your head together to
the age of psycho-babble head games.
First, the Desecration of the Altar.
Then, the Desecration of the Altar Boy.
The correlation between the desecration of Sunday and the
widely publicized priest scandal can be found in the following
observation: In having lost the sense of the sacred, modern
priests first desecrated the altar. They then desecrated the
altar boy.
Incidentally, the other sin against the Holy Face of Jesus is
the use of the Lord's name in vain.
The Reason why England was
Never Invaded by Nazi Forces
The 20th Century mystic & stigmatist, Theresa Neumann, of
Konnersreuth, Barvaria, stated that the reason why God did
not permit England to be invaded by the Nazi Germans was
because, in England, the sabbath was honored.
A Prophecy about the United States, spoken
by a Twentieth Century German Mystic
We disregard all prophetic claims which have been investigat-
ed and declared invalid. We furthermore disregard the ones
that have never been investigated. And this brings us to the
prophecy of a stigmatist who never walked on American
terrain. This brings us to Theresa Neumann, a woman who
wanted to be an African Missionary, but who was too ill to
become one.
Well, some time after World War II, she stated the following:
Due to America's charity toward war torn Europe,
(presumably in the form of the Marshall Plan),
God vowed to never let a concentration camp be
established anywhere in the United States, in the
future. God resolved to punish the United States
for its sins by means of the natural elements.
This would logically include hurricanes, tornadoes, draught
(though not the resulting forest fires per se), floods, infes-
tations, lightning strikes, heat waves, and anything else that
is not triggered according to a predictable mechanism. The
bottom line is that Theresa Neumann alluded to the meta-
physical effect of man's sins upon his natural habitat.
In order to confirm if this prophecy has any reliability attached
to it, refer to an almanac. Observe the frequency of tornadic
activity during the years prior to the Marshall Plan, and then
make note of the tornadic activity occurring after the estab-
lishment of the Marshall Plan. The Marshall Plan was set into
motion during 1948. And then gloss over statistics of other
types of natural disasters that have non-predictable initial trig-
gering mechanisms.
A Bishop's Moral Obligation
A bishop has a moral obligation to speak out against the re-
tail profiteer's desecration of the sabbath; a sin shared by
those who either patronize the profiteer or partake in his pro-
fits.
A Pinch of Incense to the Emperor
Depending on the temperment of the ruling emperor, the early
christians of the Roman Church were required to toss a pince
of incense into a censor, while declaring the reigning emperor
divine. Doing so resulted in automatic excommunication from
the church, while not doing so resulted in inevitable execution
at the hands of the pagan Romans.
In a latter century, Odilia, Ursula, and nine other companions
would be martyred in barbarian Germany. Boniface would
follow suit in 8th Century Holland. Sir Thomas More would
come to loose his rank and his life, while Margaret Clitherow
would be crushed to death in a 16th Century England that out-
lawed Catholicism. And before that same century would come
to a close, Paul Miki and his companions would be crucified in
Nagasaki. Charles Lwanga and his conferes would then be
martyred in 19th Century Uganda. Then, in the 20th Century,
Franciscan priest Maximillian Kolbe would have carbolic acid
injected into him, in a Nazi concentration camp.
For those individuals, there was no compromise. Today, how-
ever, compromise is treated as if it were the eighth sacrament
of the church. As a result, the princes of the church have
cast the illusion that the faith for which many died (while be-
ing entirely unarmed) is not to be taken seriously. The image
of the modern church has been drawn with cartoonish crayons.
The Incendiary Hypocrisy of the Modern Church
Consider the following scenarios:
A eucharistic minister at the 8:00 AM Sunday Mass is seen
working at a department store's cosmetic counter at noon.
And needless to say, that is unnecessary Sunday work.
The attorney who served as the lecteur at the same Mass pro-
ceeds on Monday with a civil case that will procure the divorce
and subsequent remarriage that the church has always taught to
be adultery, thereby making the attorney an accomplice to the
sin of adultery.
An esteemed postmaster opens the Monday night parish coun-
cil meeting after having spent the day overseeing the delivery
magazines that have the provocative effect of an open flame
taunting a nearby can of gasoline.
The wedding caterer who leads the Thursday night prayer
group prepares for a wedding of divorced individuals, there-
by planning to honor an institutionalized form of adultery.
A catechism teacher goes to the church hall on Saturday,
after having spent the week marketing retail merchandise
produced with foreign slave labor.
And the best man at a Saturday wedding goes to communion
while intending to show up on a construction site the following
Sunday, so that a shopping complex can be completed in time
for slave labor products to be sold in the renovated stores.
No Conscientious Objection
For years, there has been no objection to a Catholic making
a handsome income as the management-level employee of a
corporation that profits from either foreign sweatshop labor
or the desecration of Sunday, or both. And there has been
no objection whenever parts of those forms of income were
tossed into a parish's tax-free collection basket. Part of the
modern church's assets in America come from the exploita-
tion of the underpaid worker. The church in America has
been hourding the money of the poor.
And then there is the matter of the Desecration of Sunday,
where the day consecrated by the Resurrection has now been
dedicated to the god of profit, on a hymnal of time cards.
Stated for the record, the desecration of the sabbath does
not occur in the matter of necessary operations, such as gas
stations, power plants, and hospitals. And it does not pertain
to operations that contribute to rest and relaxation, such as a
State Park's boat rental shop.
Desecrating the Face of God
The desecration of Sunday has been recognized in Catholic
Spirituality as one of the two sins against the Holy Face of
Jesus. Now, the Holy Face of Jesus is a title that symbol-
ically represents the Presence of God. And the desecration
of Sunday distorts the instinctual ability to discern satanic
impulses from angelic ones.
Sacred Scripture reminds us that "even Satan masquerades
as an angel of light." In sequence, a society that desecrates
the Sabbath is one whose people are easy to deceive. And as
a result, in a Western society that has long since lost its spiritual
sonar, Donald Wuerl is being presented by the media as an
angel of light.
A Sin Against Ecology
The desecration of Sunday not only suffocates the sense of
the sacred within a person's instinctual faculties, it is also a
sin against ecology. The sabbath rest replenishes that which
has been depleted, while it drains that which has been accum-
ulated in excess. It puts things back into perspective, body,
soul, and mind. In the 70s, the expression was "getting your
head together." Then came the widespread desecration of the
sabbath. And in the 80s & 90s a new expression came into
use, describing desecration era priests' new form of commun-
ication. The expression was "psycho-babble head games."
Thus, we went from the age of getting your head together to
the age of psycho-babble head games.
First, the Desecration of the Altar.
Then, the Desecration of the Altar Boy.
The correlation between the desecration of Sunday and the
widely publicized priest scandal can be found in the following
observation: In having lost the sense of the sacred, modern
priests first desecrated the altar. They then desecrated the
altar boy.
Incidentally, the other sin against the Holy Face of Jesus is
the use of the Lord's name in vain.
The Reason why England was
Never Invaded by Nazi Forces
The 20th Century mystic & stigmatist, Theresa Neumann, of
Konnersreuth, Barvaria, stated that the reason why God did
not permit England to be invaded by the Nazi Germans was
because, in England, the sabbath was honored.
A Prophecy about the United States, spoken
by a Twentieth Century German Mystic
We disregard all prophetic claims which have been investigat-
ed and declared invalid. We furthermore disregard the ones
that have never been investigated. And this brings us to the
prophecy of a stigmatist who never walked on American
terrain. This brings us to Theresa Neumann, a woman who
wanted to be an African Missionary, but who was too ill to
become one.
Well, some time after World War II, she stated the following:
Due to America's charity toward war torn Europe,
(presumably in the form of the Marshall Plan),
God vowed to never let a concentration camp be
established anywhere in the United States, in the
future. God resolved to punish the United States
for its sins by means of the natural elements.
This would logically include hurricanes, tornadoes, draught
(though not the resulting forest fires per se), floods, infes-
tations, lightning strikes, heat waves, and anything else that
is not triggered according to a predictable mechanism. The
bottom line is that Theresa Neumann alluded to the meta-
physical effect of man's sins upon his natural habitat.
In order to confirm if this prophecy has any reliability attached
to it, refer to an almanac. Observe the frequency of tornadic
activity during the years prior to the Marshall Plan, and then
make note of the tornadic activity occurring after the estab-
lishment of the Marshall Plan. The Marshall Plan was set into
motion during 1948. And then gloss over statistics of other
types of natural disasters that have non-predictable initial trig-
gering mechanisms.
A Bishop's Moral Obligation
A bishop has a moral obligation to speak out against the re-
tail profiteer's desecration of the sabbath; a sin shared by
those who either patronize the profiteer or partake in his pro-
fits.
A Pinch of Incense to the Emperor
Depending on the temperment of the ruling emperor, the early
christians of the Roman Church were required to toss a pince
of incense into a censor, while declaring the reigning emperor
divine. Doing so resulted in automatic excommunication from
the church, while not doing so resulted in inevitable execution
at the hands of the pagan Romans.
In a latter century, Odilia, Ursula, and nine other companions
would be martyred in barbarian Germany. Boniface would
follow suit in 8th Century Holland. Sir Thomas More would
come to loose his rank and his life, while Margaret Clitherow
would be crushed to death in a 16th Century England that out-
lawed Catholicism. And before that same century would come
to a close, Paul Miki and his companions would be crucified in
Nagasaki. Charles Lwanga and his conferes would then be
martyred in 19th Century Uganda. Then, in the 20th Century,
Franciscan priest Maximillian Kolbe would have carbolic acid
injected into him, in a Nazi concentration camp.
For those individuals, there was no compromise. Today, how-
ever, compromise is treated as if it were the eighth sacrament
of the church. As a result, the princes of the church have
cast the illusion that the faith for which many died (while be-
ing entirely unarmed) is not to be taken seriously. The image
of the modern church has been drawn with cartoonish crayons.
The Incendiary Hypocrisy of the Modern Church
Consider the following scenarios:
A eucharistic minister at the 8:00 AM Sunday Mass is seen
working at a department store's cosmetic counter at noon.
And needless to say, that is unnecessary Sunday work.
The attorney who served as the lecteur at the same Mass pro-
ceeds on Monday with a civil case that will procure the divorce
and subsequent remarriage that the church has always taught to
be adultery, thereby making the attorney an accomplice to the
sin of adultery.
An esteemed postmaster opens the Monday night parish coun-
cil meeting after having spent the day overseeing the delivery
magazines that have the provocative effect of an open flame
taunting a nearby can of gasoline.
The wedding caterer who leads the Thursday night prayer
group prepares for a wedding of divorced individuals, there-
by planning to honor an institutionalized form of adultery.
A catechism teacher goes to the church hall on Saturday,
after having spent the week marketing retail merchandise
produced with foreign slave labor.
And the best man at a Saturday wedding goes to communion
while intending to show up on a construction site the following
Sunday, so that a shopping complex can be completed in time
for slave labor products to be sold in the renovated stores.
No Conscientious Objection
For years, there has been no objection to a Catholic making
a handsome income as the management-level employee of a
corporation that profits from either foreign sweatshop labor
or the desecration of Sunday, or both. And there has been
no objection whenever parts of those forms of income were
tossed into a parish's tax-free collection basket. Part of the
modern church's assets in America come from the exploita-
tion of the underpaid worker. The church in America has
been hourding the money of the poor.
Similar to Razor Blades Inserted into my Face
A Defamation that Attacked the Core of My Being
Concerning the court case briefly mentioned in Part 1, Wuerl
let a character assassination be filed in appellate court which
had the effect of inserting razor blades into my face. That is
to say, in its 2001 appellate brief, Wuerl's Pittsburgh diocese
stated that I and my co-appellant merely wanted to live our
own version of Catholicism.
This asserts that everything we believed in was invalid. And
this assessment of total invalidity would have to have included
our belief in the Trinity, the four gospels, the Divinity of Christ,
the Resurrection, the Ascension, the Primacy of Peter, the
Seven Sacraments, Transubstantiation, Apostolic Succession,
the Immaculate Conception, the Assumption, the Rosary, the
intercession of the Saints, Holy Orders, Absolution from Sin,
Reparation for Sin, the Indissolubility of Marriage, and the
moral requirement to refrain from knowingly partaking in the
defraudment of workers of their wages (short of grave or
extreme necessity.)
The Defamation now Applies to Notre Dame, Fordham,
Georgetown, Boston College, Marquette, Villanova, 18
other Catholic colleges, one Catholic High School, one
Roman Catholic Religious Order, one Roman Catholic
District School Board, and one retired Roman Catholic
cardinal
One of the features of the lawsuit concerned Donald Wuerl's
refusal to grant me my right to either an apostolate or a spon-
sored initiative that would have combatted sweatshop labor
profiteering and other social sins, with the help of the vastly
resourced Catholic Church. And as was mentioned in Part 1,
my allegation was that Wuerl declined to comply with this mor-
al obligation out of fear of ultimately loosing tax exempt status,
taxpayer funding, and/or other government benefits, among
other things. So, in response to my allegation, Donald Wuerl
let my conscientious objection to Sweatshop Labor Profiteer-
ing be regarded as an anti-Catholic stance by which I merely
want to live my own heresy. Well, observe the following:
The Catholic schools listed below are actively opposed to
partaking in the same Sweatshop Labor to which I have been
a conscientious objector for years. They are now doing, in
their realms, that which I tried to get started in the Pittsburgh
diocese for years. Each school is an active member of the
Worker's Rights Consortium, and each school refuses to
knowingly patronize the providers of slave labor products
in their team sportswear lines and in their school logo mer-
chandise.
Each Roman Catholic person who participates in the Worker's
Rights Consortium movement would have to be declared by
Donald Wuerl as merely wanting to live his/her own version
of Catholicism as much as I was declared as having wanted to
do. And we should, therefore, all be put on trial in a court of
Canon Law and be dealt with accordingly. In as much, take
note of all the Catholic universities and colleges who will have
to be declared (by Donald Wuerl) as heretical schools who
want to live their own versions of Catholicism:
-Notre Dame, -Holy Cross, -Georgetown, -Marquette,
-Villanova, -Bellarmine, -Fordham, -Duquesne, -Saint
-Joseph's, -Saint Mary's, -DePaul, -Dayton, -Gonzaga,
-Boston College, -Saint John's, -Fairfield, -Santa Clara,
-Seattle U., -Regis U., -Loyola of New Orleans, -San
Francisco University, -Loyola of Chicago, -the College
of Saint Catherine, -the University of Portland (Oregon)
That amounts to 24 Catholic institutions of higher learning. In
light of this, the reasonably minded person would recognize this
to be a lot of company for a person who was declared as hav-
ing wanted to live his own isolated version of Catholicism.
The Claretians Opposed Sweatshop Labor Profiteering
There is the religious order known as the Claretians who also
object to participating in the Defraudment of Workers of their
Wages (or whatever you want to call that practice.) The
Claretians published Shop Till They Stop, in their Salt of the
Earth Magazine. They also provided web links for the purpose
of letting the public obtain consumer boycott guides. Now,
boycotting is only phase one. But, it is more than what Wuerl
ever did, in this matter. Nonetheless, Donald Wuerl will have to
declare the Claretian Religious Order as having wanted to live
their own version of Catholic as much as I was declared as hav-
ing wanted to do.
A Catholic High School in New Jersey is
Also Opposed to Partaking in the Crime
A Catholic high school in New Jersey has also been active in
this effort, in its publication & maintenence of Child Slave
Labor News. It is Immaculata High School, of Sommerville,
NJ. Therefore, the students and faculty of that school must
also be declared as merely wanting to live their own version
of Catholicism by the condemning Donald Wuerl.
The Toronto Catholic District
School Board Hopped on Board
Then there is the Toronto Catholic District School Board
whose Sweatshop-free Purchasing Policy F.P.04 was ap-
proved on February 8, 2006. In light of this recent event,
the 5'4" or 5'5" Donald Wuerl must equally condemn that
school board's membership as much as he let me be con-
demned.
Theodore McCarrick Established an Anti-sweatshop
Initiative, while Donald Wuerl was in Pittsburgh doing
Absolutely Nothing More than Serving Himself
We now come to Wuerl's predecessor, Theodore McCarrick.
In 1997, McCarrick was the archbishop of Newark. And
while he was accompanied by then-Secretary of Labor Alexis
Herman, McCarrick "announced a multifaceted initiative to
assure that Catholic school uniforms in the Newark arch-
diocese would not be manufactured in sweatshops." During
that same general time span, Wuerl held a youth rally at Three
Rivers Stadium, where the youths were to wear red t-shirts. In
which shops were those t-shirts made?
The Irony of it all
The irony to Wuerl's long-term silence is that Pittsburgh was
well known for its stance on labor rights. It was also known
for an epic labor riot that involved Pinkerton detectives (the
Homestead Riot). And not only is Pittsburgh famous for once
having been the world leader in the steel industry, it is known
for the amount of bridges that have been built & maintained
throughout its vicinity. And of course, bridge maintenance re-
quires diligent workers.
That same geographic region once had the world's largest air-
port, as well as the largest push button railroad in the world.
And to this day, the tallest education building in the Western
Hemisphere is located in Pittsburgh, but it is only there be-
cause of the teams of workers who constructed it. In fact,
the United Steel Worker's Union is still headquartered in Pitts-
burgh.
Pittsburgh would have been the most suitable place to begin
the anti-sweatshop movement, and Wuerl could have been a
pioneer in the movement. Wuerl refused to do so. By any
chance is it that Wuerl did not find the worker to be glamor-
ous enough for him? Did he regard the worker as a basal
neanderthal who offensed his sensibilities?
For Confirmation Purposes
For confirmation purposes, the links to the Worker's Rights
Consortium, Immaculata High School's Child Slave Labor
News, Theodore McCarrick's 1997 Initiative, and Claretian
Publications is posted directly below. The posting is done
simply to show:
- that there actually are 24 Catholic colleges/universities who
are active in the anti-sweatshop labor movement via their
affiliation with the Worker's Rights Consortium.
- that Immaculata High School actually is involved in the anti-
sweatshop movement.
- that Theodore McCarrick did get invovled in opposing
sweatshop labor profiteering as far back as 1997.
- that the Claretians did make the effort to counter sweatshop
profiteering, in their publishing of Shop Till They Shop: a
confused consumer's guide to shopping for a better world
while providing consumer boycott guides.

Confirmed Even in 2006
It was confirmed in May 2006 that Donald Wuerl was still
negligent in his moral obligation to speak out against (and to
oppose) Sweatshop Labor Profiteering. This was first con-
firmed by a representative of the Pittsburgh Anti-sweatshop
Community Alliance who politely said that they were trying to
get Wuerl involved via a priest at the nearby university who
joined the WRC in 2004.
A Thomas Merton Center representative confirmed Donald
Wuerl's perpetual negligence also, in having simply said that
Wuerl was continuing to do absolutely nothing to end the sin
of Sweatshop Labor Profiteering.

Donald Wuerl: A Clone of the Scribes & Pharisees
Worldly Honors and the Absence of Humility
The following passage of Sacred Scripture was spoken by
the only Messiah that mankind will ever have: "A prophet is
not without honor, except in his native place, among his
own kindred, and in his own house." Conversely speaking,
one can deduce from the same Sacred Script that he who re-
ceives great honor in his native place and amongst his own
people is not a prophet. Well, Donald Wuerl is a native of
Pittsburgh, and he has had a gluttonous supply of honor be-
stowed upon him. Therefore, according to the Gospels,
Donald Wuerl is not a . . .
The local media's portrayal of Wuerl was equivalent to their
having said, "our bishop can beat up your bishop." Now, it
can be reasonably suspected that the local media's praise of
Wuerl was merely done to keep the Catholic anti-defamation
league off of the local media's back. However, in praising
Wuerl in the way he was praised, the local media de facto
belittled the other Catholic bishop's in America. And that is
defamatory to Catholics elsewhere.
The Sudden Vacating of a Newspaper Post, and
a Warning Given to a Radio Talk Show Host
As was previously stated, this matter was taken all the way
to the United States Supreme Court, in a Petition for a Writ
of Certiorari and three supplemental briefs. Yet, at no time
has this case ever been reported by the local media or any
other media. However, there was one local newpaper re-
porter who, I was told, expressed his willingness to expose
the matter involving Wuerl and his former personal secretary.
And this was told to me by a local radio talk show host who
previously did a piece on Donald Wuerl's diocese, only to get
a warning call from the diocese's official spokesman as soon
as he went off the air that day.
Well, I was given the newspaper reporter's address and then
mailed him photocopies of the evidence and other related
documents. Then, within days, I was informed that the re-
porter ever so coincidentally vacated his newspaper post.
Yet, he was working for the heavily circulated newspaper
the day I mailed him copies of the court documents and re-
lated evidence. In fact, there was a previous attempt, by yet
another third party, to get the story published by the same
newspaper. The editor said, "No."
The Isolate-and-Converge Tactic
Donald Wuerl closed 35% of the 333 Pittsburgh area parishes
that were in existence the day he took charge. Yet, between
1988 and 2004, the Catholic population in the Pittsburgh vi-
cinity only dropped 3% (837,000 to 812,000).
Well, one of the 118 parishes designated for closure was a
Franciscan & Croatian parish that canonically belonged to the
same province as does the famed (or infamed) Saint James
Parish, in Medjugorje. It is known as the Province of the
Assumption in Hercegovina
Shortly after Wuerl announced his intent to close that parish,
its pastor signed a letter stating that Wuerl violated canon law
in his having chosen to close it. In response, Wuerl ordered
the pastor to his office. But, Wuerl did not order the pastor
there, for the purpose of having a friendly dialogue. In fact,
as soon as the pastor entered Wuerl's office, he found himself
surrounded by a entourage of people who served the function
of intimidating office decor.
Such a technique can constrict a invited person's mental pro-
cesses so much so that it can easily close a case before it's
even opened. There was no one-on-one meeting with a kind-
ly father figure. There were no prior meetings with courteous
canon lawyers. And there was no point-by-point discussion
of the contents of the letter. There was not even an acknowl-
edgement that closing an unique parish could be emotionally
painful for its ethnic parishioners.
Rather, there was one question posed to an isolated priest, by
a bishop sitting amidst an inhospitable entourage. Wuerl simply
challenged the pastor to produce one article of canon law that
was violated by him. Donald Wuerl could have been courte-
ous and understanding about the parishioners' grief, but he
elected to operate in the intimidation mode. And the intimi-
dation tactic didn't cause the parishioners to backdown. They
ended up filing a lawsuit against Wuerl.
Shortly after that office visit, the pastor made a public apology
for having signed the letter. And he did mention how intimi-
dating that meeting was. In fact, he said that he had to take a
few days off, being that it was such a traumatizing experience.
All in all, it is not healthy for a bishop to employ those types
of tactics. In fact, when a bishop is a notably frail 5'4 or 5'5,
and then he orchestrates a display of power, the scenery be-
comes utterly Stalinesque, as in Josef Stalin.
The Common Tactic
This case and the case of Wuerl's former personal secretary
have one common trait. In both accounts, you can see that
the chosen technique of Wuerl is to isolate you and then con-
verge upon you. Let it be repeated. Donald Wuerl's tactic
is to get you isolated, defenseless, and abandoned. Then he
attacks.
In the case of Wuerl's former secretary, the victim was told
that bringing his many pieces of evidence to the diocesan build-
ing would be helpful. And take note that he was not asked to
bring in copies of the evidence. Well, a letter was sent back
to Wuerl's personnel, informing them that they would only be
shown the pieces of evidence in a neutral place, with a third
party holding them, allowing diocesan personnel to see every
inch of every piece of evidence, but never getting their hands
on any of it. That is to say, the evidence was not going to be
given to the diocese. And that is when snakishness turned into
full scale hammering.
Wuerl's Use of a De Facto Corruption of Blood Policy,
in Punishing the Children of those Adults who Publically
Objected to Donald Wuerl's Breaking of a Promise
Risen Lord Parish is one of the Pittsburgh diocesan parishes.
It had a parochial school when Donald Wuerl assumed power
in Pittsburgh, but it has one no more. Wuerl designated Risen
Lord Parish School for closure. And the excuse was the lack
of financial resources.
Parents of the student body appealed to the diocese, in their
desire to have Risen Lord Parish School kept open. So, a
deal was made by the diocese, where the school would remain
open, if the parents and teachers raised a certain sum of money.
The parents and teachers successfully raised the required sum
of money. Wuerl closed the school, anyway.
In response to Wuerl's breaking of the promise, a number of
the parishioners performed a public protest, even with protest
signs in hand. In fact, the event made local television headline
news.
In response to the protest, Wuerl's Diocese of Pittsburgh
mandated that all Risen Lord Parish protesters were required
to attend classes on how to show respect to one's bishop, or
else their children would never be allowed to attend any Pitts-
burgh diocesan school ever again. This was euphemistically
called "denying school transfers," and the classes were euphe-
mistically called "Three Hours of Reconciliation Counselling."
Punishing relatives for the actions of a parent is known as the
corruption of blood. Specifically speaking, Corruption of
Blood actions consist in denying the children their inheritance,
on account of a treasonable act of one of their parents. The
children of Risen Lord Parish School were faced with loosing
the inheritance of a Catholic school education, at the hands of
Donald Wuerl, even though tey did absolutely nothing wrong.
And Donald Wuerl is heralded as a protector of children who
cares about their education. Well, he was ready to keep a
number of children out of diocesan schools.
One question remains in the Risen Lord Parish School case.
What did Wuerl do with the money that the people raised?
The Cult of Personality: Turning the 5'4" or 5'5"
Donald Wuerl into a Graven Idol
There is an alleged newspaper article which described Wuerl
an aesthetically thin 5'11. And this is one of the two reasons
why "the 5'4" or 5'5" Donald Wuerl" was stated more than
once in these church corruption pages. Now, Wuerl is ap-
proximately the same height as was his immediate Pittsburgh
predecessor, Anthony Bevilacqua, and he is approximately
the same height as is his homosexual former personal secretary.
Yet, photographs of Wuerl repeatedly make him look much
taller than he is.
In newspaper photos of Wuerl, he is often set in a position
that will enable him to appear to be the tallest person in the
photo, simply by placing him on an elevated step or the such.
And whenever Wuerl would be photographed next to a per-
son much taller than he (whenever an elevated step was not
available), he would stand at a notable distance from the per-
son, so as to offset the disparity in height.
However, whenever Wuerl would be photographed next to
a tall attorney or the such, the photo would let one know the
height of the person in a position of power standing next to
Wuerl. This has been the case, even when the person in
power lacked the trappings of an imposing figure.
Incidentally, the phrase"lacking the trappings of an im-
posing figure" is the polite way of saying "Big dork."
The Vanity in Being Height Conscious
What is wrong with being 5'3, 5'4, 5'5, or 5'6, if you are male?
In the sixties and seventies, it was accompanied by a presump-
tion of streamlined coordination, depending on the person's
width. And there have been extremely popular celebrities in
that height range. There was Davey Jones, an extremely pop-
ular celebrity among the youth. There also was Paul Simon,
Dustin Hoffman, Bob Dylan, Dudley Moore, Sammy Davis Jr.,
and three-time major league all star Freddie Patek.
Add to the general list Michael J. Fox, NBA basketball player
Earl Boykins, Peter Falk, Richard Dreyfuss, Mahatma Gandhi,
Pablo Picasso,Gustav Malher, and others.
In addition, there are entire nations where the common height
of a male is much lower than that of a John Wayne. In fact,
how tall was Mother Theresa? How tall was Saint Margaret
of Costello? It's not the height that counts. It's the impact on
on another one's life that does.
"The Elizabeth Ann Seton Award for Contributions to
Catholic Education" Has Nothing to do with Educating
or Writing. It Involves Financial Contributions only.
Donald Wuerl is advertised as the winner of the "prestigious
Elizabeth Ann Seton Award for his ongoing work as a
teacher and educator." This is an outright lie. The Elizabeth
Ann Seton Award is simply an award for supporting Catholic
educational institutions with money; by either fund raising or
philanthropy. It's a "thanks for the money award."
The founder of the National Dance Institute won that award
in 1996. Wuerl won it in 1995. Therefore, if you ever win
the lottery and then donate $5 million, while making it known
that you are considering to donate an additional $5 million in
the near future, chances are that you will win the exact same
"prestigious" award that Wuerl won in 1995, even if you know
little about Catholicism. In addition, how prestigious can an
award be when eight people win it in one day?
Incidentally, Donald Wuerl's acheivement consisted in the cor-
porate fund raising effort to keep four inner city Pittsburgh
diocesan schools open. It was not several schools, as the
Wuerl propaganda machine alleged. In fact, the total enroll-
ment of the four schools at any one time is only 850 students.
And the students do not attend for free. For the 2002/2003
school season, each student's guardian or parent was charged
$1,480 of the $3,700 tuition bill.
The organization which was ultimately formed to maintain these
inner city schools is called the Extra Mile Education Foundation.
It had twenty board members other than Wuerl in 2002, and the
vast majority of them come from the corporate/finance world.
So, why didn't they get an Elizabeth Ann Seton Award, also?
Now, keeping these four schools open is a good cause. But,
it seems to be a cause for Donald Wuerl's public image more
than the children. Concerning the Extra Mile Education Founda-
tion, 85.7% of its 2004 operating budget went to the programs
and services that it was established to provide. And its Charity
Navigator Rating was 56.59. That constitutes a three star rating.
So, give if you can. And keep in mind that any person with the
influence that comes with the title, Bishop of Pittsburgh, could
have done the same thing. In fact, you would expect someone
with that influence to accomplish much more that what Wuerl
accomplished in the past 18 years.
The Hypocritical Irony Attached to Praising
Wuerl for this Effort which was only Made
Possible by Corporate Intervention
The irony to giving Donald Wuerl the Elizabeth Ann Seton
Award is that, if he were so great a maintainer of Catholic
school education, then why did he close the number of Cath-
olic parochial schools that he closed? In fact, the parents of
Risen Lord Parish should all be given the Elizabeth Ann Seton
Award for their efforts.
Matthew, Chapter 6: Do not be like the hypocrites
It is written:
When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before
you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in
the streets, to win the praise of others.
Concerning those four inner city schools, Wuerl definitely blew
a trumpet before him. And it was not even his alms that were
being given. It was someone else's money. Nonetheless, such
trumpet blowing, according to the Gospels, is the sign of a
hypocrite. Incidentally, the official definition of hypocrisy in
Catholic Church teaching is: Living a lie.
Who is More Valuable: The Jesus Christ who never
won an award or the Donald Wuerl who Waves his
tokens in your Face?
Jesus never received a single award during his lifetime. Does
this mean that he was an inept teacher who should be ignored
and replaced with Donald Wuerl? It is a valid question to ask
in light of the observation that, whenever Donald Wuerl's name
is brought into a conversation, Jesus' name is left out. Well,
let us review:
Jesus gave sight to the blind and functionality to the crippled.
He cast out ferocious demons, multipled loaves of bread, and
calm a stormy sea. How often has Donald Wuerl done this?
Did Donald Wuerl ever stop a war as did Francis of Assisi?
Has Donald Wuerl ever converted a nation as did Patrick?
Has his preaching ever made fish leap throughout a lake as
did Anthony of Padua's. Did Wuerl ever risk his life for what
is right? And how many times did Wuerl give the fullness of
breath to asthmatics, instead of letting them be on the run dur-
ing the course of a diocesan retaliation? In fact, how times
has the administration of the Seventh Sacrament by Wuerl
result in a healing, as the Epistle of James promised?
Zero times?
Well, if that's the case, then why all the media praise about
Wuerl? Praising someone like Wuerl makes the press look
insignificant.
The Stalin Complex
The Napoleon Bonaparte who was portrayed as a 5'2" (and
even 4'11") corporal was actually a 5'7 1/2" graduate of the
Royal Military School, in Paris. His height was slightly above
averge for an early 19th Century continental European male,
and he was only called the Little Corporal as a show of filial-
ity by his soldiers, on account of his comradery with them.
So, historic fact would have you refrain from using the phrase,
"Napoleon Complex." However, "Stalin Complex" would
be applicable here. And that appears to be the state of mind
displayed in either Donald Wuerl or in the public relations per-
sonnel who constructed Wuerl's public image.
Joseph Stalin was a frail 5'5 1/2. He was only slightly taller
than Donald Wuerl. Yet, film clips and statutary made him
appear to be of an intimidating height & stature. In fact, he
was given the titles, Brilliant Genius of Humanty, Father
of Nations, and Gardener of Human Happiness. And his
reputation for protecting people's rights was that, whenever
atrocities were being committed against Soviet citizens, the
people caught in the middle of them were telling each other
that Stalin probably didn't know they were happening. The
fact was that he was the one ordering them.
Joseph Stalin, despite all of the media propaganda, decep-
tive photographs, and exaggerated statues was condemned
in 1956 and even in the 1980s. His propaganda image col-
lapsed.
Oliver Cromwell, three years after his death, was exhumed,
hung, drawn, and quartered, having been formally declared
a criminal. His surviving confreres who cooperated in the
regicide of Charles I were then executed. Cromwell's legacy
was erased, yet he was once called Lord Protector a few
years prior.
Robespierre was publically heralded as the Incorruptible. But,
he was to later meet the same destiny that he was imposing on
others, during his Reign of Terror.
One of the marks of a tyrant is that he is repeatedly praised in
the press, amidst the absense of anyone questioning his actions
and motives. The news articles about Donald Wuerl, in the
Pittsburgh Catholic and the Pittsburgh Post Gazette were more
indoctrination than it was informative news.
Another mark of a tyrant is that of performing some type of
purge. Donald Wuerl's great regional purge saw to the disso-
lution of 118 parishes in a geographic area that only saw a
3% decrease in its Catholic population (between 1988 and
2004). And concerning a great nationwide purge, consider
the following:
According to Omaha archbishop Elden Curtiss, today's short-
age of priests was being artificially contrived during the same
time span when Donald Wuerl was closing multiple parishes
& Catholic schools in Southwestern Pennsylvania. In addition,
other sources have reported that an ongoing purge in the ranks
of seminary candidates consisted in rejecting the applications
of every candidate who was unwilling to coexist with homo-
sexuality. Now, seminary management pertains to the office
of priestly formation, and Donald Wuerl was pivotally in-
volved with the national office of Priestly Formation during
the thinning of the herd. Therefore, if Elden Curtiss and
other sources are correct, then Donald Wuerl partook in
a second great purge.
Those who ignore the errors made throughout history are con-
demned to repeat them and then share in a destiny similar to
those who previously engaged in the errors. History has shown
that tyrants and egomaniacs fall with the weight of gravity, along
with their emblems and public relations images. History has
also shown that tyrants are known to be disowned after their
deaths, even to the point where their successors apologize to
the people for their actions.
Sincerely,
The Ghost of Christmas Future
The following passage of Sacred Scripture was spoken by
the only Messiah that mankind will ever have: "A prophet is
not without honor, except in his native place, among his
own kindred, and in his own house." Conversely speaking,
one can deduce from the same Sacred Script that he who re-
ceives great honor in his native place and amongst his own
people is not a prophet. Well, Donald Wuerl is a native of
Pittsburgh, and he has had a gluttonous supply of honor be-
stowed upon him. Therefore, according to the Gospels,
Donald Wuerl is not a . . .
The local media's portrayal of Wuerl was equivalent to their
having said, "our bishop can beat up your bishop." Now, it
can be reasonably suspected that the local media's praise of
Wuerl was merely done to keep the Catholic anti-defamation
league off of the local media's back. However, in praising
Wuerl in the way he was praised, the local media de facto
belittled the other Catholic bishop's in America. And that is
defamatory to Catholics elsewhere.
The Sudden Vacating of a Newspaper Post, and
a Warning Given to a Radio Talk Show Host
As was previously stated, this matter was taken all the way
to the United States Supreme Court, in a Petition for a Writ
of Certiorari and three supplemental briefs. Yet, at no time
has this case ever been reported by the local media or any
other media. However, there was one local newpaper re-
porter who, I was told, expressed his willingness to expose
the matter involving Wuerl and his former personal secretary.
And this was told to me by a local radio talk show host who
previously did a piece on Donald Wuerl's diocese, only to get
a warning call from the diocese's official spokesman as soon
as he went off the air that day.
Well, I was given the newspaper reporter's address and then
mailed him photocopies of the evidence and other related
documents. Then, within days, I was informed that the re-
porter ever so coincidentally vacated his newspaper post.
Yet, he was working for the heavily circulated newspaper
the day I mailed him copies of the court documents and re-
lated evidence. In fact, there was a previous attempt, by yet
another third party, to get the story published by the same
newspaper. The editor said, "No."
The Isolate-and-Converge Tactic
Donald Wuerl closed 35% of the 333 Pittsburgh area parishes
that were in existence the day he took charge. Yet, between
1988 and 2004, the Catholic population in the Pittsburgh vi-
cinity only dropped 3% (837,000 to 812,000).
Well, one of the 118 parishes designated for closure was a
Franciscan & Croatian parish that canonically belonged to the
same province as does the famed (or infamed) Saint James
Parish, in Medjugorje. It is known as the Province of the
Assumption in Hercegovina
Shortly after Wuerl announced his intent to close that parish,
its pastor signed a letter stating that Wuerl violated canon law
in his having chosen to close it. In response, Wuerl ordered
the pastor to his office. But, Wuerl did not order the pastor
there, for the purpose of having a friendly dialogue. In fact,
as soon as the pastor entered Wuerl's office, he found himself
surrounded by a entourage of people who served the function
of intimidating office decor.
Such a technique can constrict a invited person's mental pro-
cesses so much so that it can easily close a case before it's
even opened. There was no one-on-one meeting with a kind-
ly father figure. There were no prior meetings with courteous
canon lawyers. And there was no point-by-point discussion
of the contents of the letter. There was not even an acknowl-
edgement that closing an unique parish could be emotionally
painful for its ethnic parishioners.
Rather, there was one question posed to an isolated priest, by
a bishop sitting amidst an inhospitable entourage. Wuerl simply
challenged the pastor to produce one article of canon law that
was violated by him. Donald Wuerl could have been courte-
ous and understanding about the parishioners' grief, but he
elected to operate in the intimidation mode. And the intimi-
dation tactic didn't cause the parishioners to backdown. They
ended up filing a lawsuit against Wuerl.
Shortly after that office visit, the pastor made a public apology
for having signed the letter. And he did mention how intimi-
dating that meeting was. In fact, he said that he had to take a
few days off, being that it was such a traumatizing experience.
All in all, it is not healthy for a bishop to employ those types
of tactics. In fact, when a bishop is a notably frail 5'4 or 5'5,
and then he orchestrates a display of power, the scenery be-
comes utterly Stalinesque, as in Josef Stalin.
The Common Tactic
This case and the case of Wuerl's former personal secretary
have one common trait. In both accounts, you can see that
the chosen technique of Wuerl is to isolate you and then con-
verge upon you. Let it be repeated. Donald Wuerl's tactic
is to get you isolated, defenseless, and abandoned. Then he
attacks.
In the case of Wuerl's former secretary, the victim was told
that bringing his many pieces of evidence to the diocesan build-
ing would be helpful. And take note that he was not asked to
bring in copies of the evidence. Well, a letter was sent back
to Wuerl's personnel, informing them that they would only be
shown the pieces of evidence in a neutral place, with a third
party holding them, allowing diocesan personnel to see every
inch of every piece of evidence, but never getting their hands
on any of it. That is to say, the evidence was not going to be
given to the diocese. And that is when snakishness turned into
full scale hammering.
Wuerl's Use of a De Facto Corruption of Blood Policy,
in Punishing the Children of those Adults who Publically
Objected to Donald Wuerl's Breaking of a Promise
Risen Lord Parish is one of the Pittsburgh diocesan parishes.
It had a parochial school when Donald Wuerl assumed power
in Pittsburgh, but it has one no more. Wuerl designated Risen
Lord Parish School for closure. And the excuse was the lack
of financial resources.
Parents of the student body appealed to the diocese, in their
desire to have Risen Lord Parish School kept open. So, a
deal was made by the diocese, where the school would remain
open, if the parents and teachers raised a certain sum of money.
The parents and teachers successfully raised the required sum
of money. Wuerl closed the school, anyway.
In response to Wuerl's breaking of the promise, a number of
the parishioners performed a public protest, even with protest
signs in hand. In fact, the event made local television headline
news.
In response to the protest, Wuerl's Diocese of Pittsburgh
mandated that all Risen Lord Parish protesters were required
to attend classes on how to show respect to one's bishop, or
else their children would never be allowed to attend any Pitts-
burgh diocesan school ever again. This was euphemistically
called "denying school transfers," and the classes were euphe-
mistically called "Three Hours of Reconciliation Counselling."
Punishing relatives for the actions of a parent is known as the
corruption of blood. Specifically speaking, Corruption of
Blood actions consist in denying the children their inheritance,
on account of a treasonable act of one of their parents. The
children of Risen Lord Parish School were faced with loosing
the inheritance of a Catholic school education, at the hands of
Donald Wuerl, even though tey did absolutely nothing wrong.
And Donald Wuerl is heralded as a protector of children who
cares about their education. Well, he was ready to keep a
number of children out of diocesan schools.
One question remains in the Risen Lord Parish School case.
What did Wuerl do with the money that the people raised?
The Cult of Personality: Turning the 5'4" or 5'5"
Donald Wuerl into a Graven Idol
There is an alleged newspaper article which described Wuerl
an aesthetically thin 5'11. And this is one of the two reasons
why "the 5'4" or 5'5" Donald Wuerl" was stated more than
once in these church corruption pages. Now, Wuerl is ap-
proximately the same height as was his immediate Pittsburgh
predecessor, Anthony Bevilacqua, and he is approximately
the same height as is his homosexual former personal secretary.
Yet, photographs of Wuerl repeatedly make him look much
taller than he is.
In newspaper photos of Wuerl, he is often set in a position
that will enable him to appear to be the tallest person in the

And whenever Wuerl would be photographed next to a per-

However, whenever Wuerl would be photographed next to

height of the person in a position of power standing next to
Wuerl. This has been the case, even when the person in
power lacked the trappings of an imposing figure.
Incidentally, the phrase"lacking the trappings of an im-
posing figure" is the polite way of saying "Big dork."
The Vanity in Being Height Conscious
What is wrong with being 5'3, 5'4, 5'5, or 5'6, if you are male?
In the sixties and seventies, it was accompanied by a presump-
tion of streamlined coordination, depending on the person's
width. And there have been extremely popular celebrities in
that height range. There was Davey Jones, an extremely pop-
ular celebrity among the youth. There also was Paul Simon,
Dustin Hoffman, Bob Dylan, Dudley Moore, Sammy Davis Jr.,
and three-time major league all star Freddie Patek.
Add to the general list Michael J. Fox, NBA basketball player
Earl Boykins, Peter Falk, Richard Dreyfuss, Mahatma Gandhi,
Pablo Picasso,Gustav Malher, and others.
In addition, there are entire nations where the common height
of a male is much lower than that of a John Wayne. In fact,
how tall was Mother Theresa? How tall was Saint Margaret
of Costello? It's not the height that counts. It's the impact on
on another one's life that does.
"The Elizabeth Ann Seton Award for Contributions to
Catholic Education" Has Nothing to do with Educating
or Writing. It Involves Financial Contributions only.
Donald Wuerl is advertised as the winner of the "prestigious
Elizabeth Ann Seton Award for his ongoing work as a
teacher and educator." This is an outright lie. The Elizabeth
Ann Seton Award is simply an award for supporting Catholic
educational institutions with money; by either fund raising or
philanthropy. It's a "thanks for the money award."
The founder of the National Dance Institute won that award
in 1996. Wuerl won it in 1995. Therefore, if you ever win
the lottery and then donate $5 million, while making it known
that you are considering to donate an additional $5 million in
the near future, chances are that you will win the exact same
"prestigious" award that Wuerl won in 1995, even if you know
little about Catholicism. In addition, how prestigious can an
award be when eight people win it in one day?
Incidentally, Donald Wuerl's acheivement consisted in the cor-
porate fund raising effort to keep four inner city Pittsburgh
diocesan schools open. It was not several schools, as the
Wuerl propaganda machine alleged. In fact, the total enroll-
ment of the four schools at any one time is only 850 students.
And the students do not attend for free. For the 2002/2003
school season, each student's guardian or parent was charged
$1,480 of the $3,700 tuition bill.
The organization which was ultimately formed to maintain these
inner city schools is called the Extra Mile Education Foundation.
It had twenty board members other than Wuerl in 2002, and the
vast majority of them come from the corporate/finance world.
So, why didn't they get an Elizabeth Ann Seton Award, also?
Now, keeping these four schools open is a good cause. But,
it seems to be a cause for Donald Wuerl's public image more
than the children. Concerning the Extra Mile Education Founda-
tion, 85.7% of its 2004 operating budget went to the programs
and services that it was established to provide. And its Charity
Navigator Rating was 56.59. That constitutes a three star rating.
So, give if you can. And keep in mind that any person with the
influence that comes with the title, Bishop of Pittsburgh, could
have done the same thing. In fact, you would expect someone
with that influence to accomplish much more that what Wuerl
accomplished in the past 18 years.
The Hypocritical Irony Attached to Praising
Wuerl for this Effort which was only Made
Possible by Corporate Intervention
The irony to giving Donald Wuerl the Elizabeth Ann Seton
Award is that, if he were so great a maintainer of Catholic
school education, then why did he close the number of Cath-
olic parochial schools that he closed? In fact, the parents of
Risen Lord Parish should all be given the Elizabeth Ann Seton
Award for their efforts.
Matthew, Chapter 6: Do not be like the hypocrites
It is written:
When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before
you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in
the streets, to win the praise of others.
Concerning those four inner city schools, Wuerl definitely blew
a trumpet before him. And it was not even his alms that were
being given. It was someone else's money. Nonetheless, such
trumpet blowing, according to the Gospels, is the sign of a
hypocrite. Incidentally, the official definition of hypocrisy in

even 4'11") corporal was actually a 5'7 1/2" graduate of the
Royal Military School, in Paris. His height was slightly above
