That he didn't, said a lot. I was critical of Dolan for not effecting his removal over the years, but perhaps he considered him a Pauline 'thorn in the flesh' and just suffered it.<br /><br />But it will be good to no longer hear my pastor refer to "Richard, William and Rembert - his helping bishops" during the Eucharistic prayer!<br /><br />With that kind of 'help'...GORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313101159848740722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-84166183621492874542009-05-08T00:13:00.000-05:002009-05-08T00:13:00.000-05:00I suspect that Archbishop Dolan saw to it that Wea...I suspect that Archbishop Dolan saw to it that Weakland would be gone before a successor to Dolan was named. Archbishop Dolan, when he arrived and throughout his wonderful tenure here, had to deal with Weakland's presence. It must have been a distraction at times, particularly since there's a whole cadre of priests of a certain generation who refused to accept Dolan and clung to Weakland to the point where they, even still, refer to him in the Eucharistic Prayer. Finally getting him out of the archdiocese will mean one less distraction for the new archbishop, whoever he is. My guess is that this move has been arranged for for some time.<br /><br />As for the memoirs, does anyone really care anymore? The guy wore out his welcome a long time ago. Reminding people, even if it's an unintended consequence, of the devastation he wrought while he was here might not be a real smart thing, despite the apparent need to continually stroke his own ego. A sick man. Still sick. May God keep Archbishop Weakland.
