Excellent points, Mike AA.  In reading this article, I was reminded of a particular incident orchestrated by Rev. Weinandy who roped Cardinal Wuerl into the attack on Sr. Elizabeth Johnson.  It was noted that in +Wuerl's forceful questioning of a particular chapter of Sr. Johnson's book under investigation by the USCCB doctrinal committee, the cardinal had not read the chapter (nor the book) and was reading off prepared criticisms written by Weinandy (confirmed by a staffer from the committee at he time).  How telling. So now this loose cannon (or is that canon?) decides, on a sign from none other than Christ Himself), to go after the pope because +Francis does not agree with Rev. W's ridged yet crumbling theology of the 11th century.  And such people sit around and wonder why so few have any respect for them, and even fewer listen to them.  This reeks of the finger of Cardinal Burke in the pie.  This Capuchin friar will follow +Burke into complete isolation and irrelevancy.
