How on earth did the Vatican not know that there were big problems with McCarrick before elevating him to his current position in the hierarchy?

Who is advising the Vatican on U.S. appointments to the hierarchy? The usual suspects?

Let's face it, McCarrick, Egan, Mahony, Keeler and the other phonies were appointed by someone in Rome. There is a larger problem to this whole process.

[Polycarp IV]

How on earth did the Vatican not know that there were big problems with McCarrick before elevating him to his current position in the hierarchy?

Orthodox Catholic laity travelled to Rome at their own expense and begged the Pope to NOT elevate McCarrick because of his known problems. The Vatican listened to Bernardin's boys instead.
