My Take
What strikes me about Donald Wuerl is the sheer length and altitude of his service within the Catholic Church. Rising from a Pittsburgh boyhood to study at the Pontifical Gregorian University, then ascending through Seattle, Pittsburgh, and finally the Archdiocese of Washington before being elevated to cardinal by Benedict XVI, he spent his life at the institution's center. That career is shadowed by 2018, when a Pennsylvania grand jury report criticized his handling of clergy sexual abuse cases as bishop of Pittsburgh and he stepped down from Washington; he has denied mishandling them. He also has an account on X.
