Sorry, Brian. But, so far, the only evidence we have that Ratzinger contradicted McCarrick is one story from an Italian newspaper.

If Ratzinger is not happy with the decision of the American bishops, he can always direct them to do otherwise.

And it is, after all, each bishop's decision, in the long run.

Don't be embarrassed for me, since I am not.

And when it is further verified, what difference will it make to you?
