The Shake-up In Rome | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: I suspect that Leveda had a hand in getting Wuerl on the Congregation, given his invovlement in doctrinal issues in the USCCB.  I don't agree with everything he has done, especially in regards to the Religious Freedom publicity stunt, but his stand on Communion for politicians is the polar opposite of Burke, who he appears to be replacing.  As far as Rigali, it is good to see John Paul II's American enforcer hitting the road.  Putting Wuerl on this Congregation has another benefit - the proximity to the Nuncio.  They can literally have lunch and discuss things on a regular basis.  I expect with this change that heads are about to roll - chilling the blood of the culture warriors (although Dolan appears to be safe as a cardinal - although having his patron, Rigali, tossed out is not good for him.)
