Bishop Donald Wuerl of the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh sloughed off published reports that he is about to be appointed to head the scandal-ridden Archdiocese of Boston, saying he was working full steam ahead on plans for Pittsburgh."This is simply speculation," Wuerl said last night of a Boston Globe story that reported he could have that post as early as Tuesday.
