From Pittsburgh-
Cardinal Donald Wuerl told parishioners
Friday that he is repenting for the “wounds that were caused by my bad
judgments or failures” as he prepares to discuss his resignation with
Pope Francis.
Wuerl — the archbishop of Washington and
former Pittsburgh bishop entangled in two far-reaching child sex abuse
scandals — introduced a six-week “Season of Healing” during a special
Mass at the Cathedral of Saint Matthew the Apostle in Washington, D.C.
During the homily portion of the service,
Wuerl said that he hopes that all church leaders will demonstrate
transparency as the Roman Catholic Church moves away “from the darkness
of sin and failure — abuse and shame.”
The remarks during Mass echoed the cardinal’s expression of remorse conveyed in a blog post on Thursday , in which Wuerl said he regrets some of his decisions over the past 30 years.
