How I wish I could be there, for when the question & answer period comes up I would like to respectfully ask His Eminence Cardinal Wuerl why he saw fit to discipline and humiliate a priest who very rightly refused Holy Communion to a lesbian Buddhist at a funeral Mass last March, 2012.

Cardinal Wuerl has never attempted to right this terrible injustice done to the priest, even as he continues to give Holy Communion to public sinners like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden.
