The Wesolowki Arrest | National Catholic Reporter

The Wesolowki Arrest | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I disagree with it being a mistake.  Senators and Presidents who leave office still bear the title, as does Pope Benedict.  Call him bishop - for his actions were an abuse of his office.  Does this embarrass the Church?  Sure - and it should.  While Pope Francis did the right thing - and quickly (more quickly than some of the old St. John Paul II Curia would have), that action does not remove the stain upon the Church.  They were not his actions, they were ours - at least the omission of looking and reporting.  While I would not give one of the Bernini columns in atonement - there are plenty of large pictures in the Vatican hallways depicting the Holy Family as white northern Italians - which they were not.  Sell them to pay the victims.
