According to Church Militant, Pope Francis has directed Cdl. Donald Wuerl of Washington, D.C. be removed out of the United States before he could be arrested by U.S. federal authorities:

Church Militant sources in D.C. confirm that Wuerl has completely gone off the grid — his cell phone has been shut off, he has not been in his private apartment for a number of days, all public appearances have been canceled and he has not even shown up for the weekly private confessions he offers for his priests.

Insiders believe he is holed up in a hotel in the greater D.C. metropolitan area while final plans for sneaking him out of the U.S. are executed.
