[Polycarp IV]

There would seem to be something very strange motivating McCarrick to stand down on abortion, reducing the moral force of Catholic teaching. He does not seem to be acting with the grave concern for innocent life which should be conveyed emphatically by Catholic priests and all sincere Catholics. That in itself is quite profoundly disturbing.

What is most disturbing is the lack of fraternal correction of these SOBs by the Vatican, who elevated jerks like McCarrick and Mahoney in the first place.

Uuuhhhhnnnhhh-"Fraternal Correction" evidently doesn't work. That's why R. sent a copy of his letter to the Italian newspaper.
