Very influential post, there with the other American, Wuerl:
4) Cardinal Donald Wuerl has announced he will be going to the Vatican to discuss his resignation, which implies it will soon be accepted by Pope Francis.
Not mentioned yet is Wuerl’s membership on the Vatican’s Congregation for Bishops, where Pope Francis chose him to replace Cardinal Raymond Burke just nine months into this papacy.
Two Americans sit on the extremely prestigious congregation that selects all new bishops
