Then-Pittsburgh
Bishop Donald Wuerl helped convince the nation’s Catholic bishops in
2002 to adopt a “zero tolerance” policy toward priests who had sexually
abused minors, which meant that they were no longer allowed to serve in
ministry as priests.
The grand jury investigating how allegations of child sexual abuse were handled by six Catholic dioceses in Pennsylvania will review the record of Cardinal Donald Wuerl during his 18 years as bishop of Pittsburgh. Those records will reveal that he was a champion of zero tolerance.
