Yah, yah...reports surfaced this week that Cardinal McCarrick will be staying on as archbishop of Washington for a little while longer. Our sources told us back in July it looked like McCarrick's resignation would not be accepted this year. Bottomline: Pope Benedict has bigger fish to fry. Roman Curia reform and naming of new bishops for vacant sees takes priority. We do expect some movement by next summer, contrary to the 2 year timeframe published in the official Washington Archdiocese press release. Our sources tell us that the Vatican letter to McCarrick NEVER mentioned any length of time...yes, that's right...nowhere was there a peep of 2 years. Our best guess is that this was either McCarrick's personal interpretation (what's it with him and his interpretation of letters from Ratzinger?) or some wishful thinking on the part of some curial agent. We do wish His Eminence many years of good health.

what's it with him and his interpretation of letters from Ratzinger? LOL! Maybe he has difficulty understanding the clarity with which Benedict XVI writes.

His latin is a little rusty.

vaticanisti are almost always dead right about these things.
McCarrick is always dead wrong about what's in a letter from Pope Benedict/Cardinal Ratzinger.

Yes,cardinal McCarrick only translates and interprets Nuance. Since he's a busy man when a communique comes into the chancery in plain English or Latin,he sends it to his committee,they translate it into Nuance and send it back to him. He then interprets the translation and sallies forth with the scoop.

I think it's the atmosphere around DC: all those emanations from the penumbra that seem to infest the environs....
