Archbishop Weakland reveals Vatican investigation, finds ‘little to love’ in John Paul’s dealings with dissenters
May 15, 2009
In his forthcoming memoir, retired Archbishop Rembert Weakland reveals that the Congregation of Bishops asked another US archbishop to investigate him in 1988 and that “on every ad limina trip without exception, I noticed that I would be singled out-- the other bishops were never aware of this-- and told to meet with” Vatican dicastery leaders. “Upon arrival in their offices, I would be presented with a list of complaints. These were actions or decisions of mine that seemed to irritate the pope and members of the Curia.”
“Through it all, I retained a deep respect for the Holy Father as pope, but found little to love and admire in his style of treating people who disagreed with him,” he adds.
