October 20, 2010. Washington (KATAKAMI / GOP LEADER.GOV) — House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today offered his congratulations to U.S. Archbishop Raymond L. Burke, prefect of the Apostolic Signature, and U.S. Archbishop Donald W. Wuerl of Washington, after Pope Benedict XVI announced their appointments to the College of Cardinals:

“In Archbishops Burke and Wuerl, Pope Benedict has selected men of God and loyal servants of the faithful to help lead our church around the world.  I am confident that these men of generous spirits and immense gifts will strengthen the bonds of ecumenical friendship in America, continuing the work of so many to protect life and lift up the hearts of the lonely, discouraged, and oppressed.  I congratulate them both.”
