That is what I was hoping to hear. McCarrick is too leftist, and his position in the nation's capital gives him a good deal of visibility and, therefore, a fair amount influence.
(I am not in his diocese, but, because of my last job, I had familiarity with his work.)
McCarrick is hardly a leftist, unless everyone to the left of Fabian Bruskewitz is a leftist.
