What McCarrick Investigation?

Key witnesses, victims and whistleblowers have not been interviewed

It has been a year since public and credible allegations were first made against the former Cdl. McCarrick, known now as just Theodore McCarrick.

Last year it was the archdiocese of New York that first made public the allegations against McCarrick, and since then, what has happened?

Who is (or was) leading the internal investigation against McCarrick within the archdiocese? What is the current status of the investigation? Has the investigation against McCarrick been closed? And if so, why? Why have primary (and still living) victims and witnesses of McCarrick's abuse not been interviewed by so-called "Church investigators"?

Those senior clerics in the United States who have had continuous and direct contact with McCarrick — have they been interviewed? One person who should be interviewed is the former Cardinal-Archbishop of Washington, Donald Wuerl. Wuerl was the person who helped McCarrick find alternate accommodations in the Washington, D.C. area following sanctions placed on McCarrick by Pope Benedict. Furthermore, it was Wuerl who also arranged accommodations for McCarrick at a monastery in rural Kansas, where McCarrick now lives after being removed from the clerical state.

Therefore, the question remains, why hasn't Cdl. Wuerl been interviewed?

However, if we turn back and focus on McCarrick for the moment, there are a host of questions that remain unanswered. For example, has McCarrick's computer, cell phone and tablet, along with all of his emails, been examined? And if not, why not?

Who is gathering McCarrick's written correspondence? The Church, even in the modern world, has an extensive paper trail on file that is properly recorded within diocesan offices, including the Office for the Papal Nuncio to the United States, the Congregation for Bishops and the Secretary of State in Rome. Again, who is in charge of gathering.......

The homosexuals have destroyed the moral credibility of the Church.

The lay folks are going to have to do a little overtime to clean house.

[for-q-clinton]

To be fair the medieval ages church destroyed the credibility first.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Fair enough, But, well, what were YOU doing in 1309?

[Wonder Warthog]

"The homosexuals have destroyed the moral credibility of the Church."

No, but not for lack of effort. What they are destroying is their OWN credibility.

[Bonemaker]

Sounds like a Sessions/Huber style investigation.

[dominic flandry]

There is no investigation. The hierarchy which I suspect is primarily homosexual figure the flock are a bunch of dumb sheep and they can continue as is without exposing the crimes of one of their own.

I'm all ears on suggestions as to exactly what we can do about this. I've already stopped giving them money. Unless we plan to storm the Vatican by force I really don't see any way to dislodge them. There's enough cash just sitting in Vatican City to sustain them for a century or so.

It will take time but it is worth it.
