A video of the incident at Annunciation Catholic Church indicated that the man shouted “Shame on You” as the Cardinal asked prayer and loyalty for Pope Francis, saying that he was the object of attacks.

Critics have targeted Wuerl recently in connection with two issues roiling the church. They have claimed his record was mixed in dealing with sexually abusive priests when he was bishop of Pittsburgh.

It has also been claimed that he knew of alleged sexual misconduct by his predecessor as Archbishop here. Wuerl has denied the accusation.
