A Catholic Bishop is a diddler? What a shock.

Many of these accusations are false — due to ambulance chasing attorneys.

While I have absolutely no recollection of this reported abuse, and believe in my innocence, I am sorry for the pain the person who brought the charges has gone through, as well as for the scandal such charges cause our people.

A lawyer definitely wrote that statement.

Was about to post this. McCarrick has been troublesome for a long time. None of this is a surprise. It is irksome, however, that it has taken so long for it to come out. Much damage has been done since then.

Anyone shocked by this has had their head in the sand for years.

When the church decided to let the wolves in the door back in the 60s, declaring that if you were homosexual but not practicing you could join the priesthood.... This sealed there fate....

They now run amok within the church, trade sexual favors for preferable appointments and drive out any who oppose or threaten them.
