Top advisers to Pope Francis said on Monday that the Vatican is preparing an official response to accusations that the pope helped cover up an American cardinals sexual misconduct.
The statement from the C-9, the nine cardinals who advise Francis on Church matters, came on the first day of a three-day meeting with the pope, one of several throughout the year.
The Holy Sees planned response will address accusations by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò former Vatican ambassador to the United States that Pope Francis covered up sexual abuse by now-disgraced former cardinal Theodore McCarrick.
Viganò roiled the Church with his bombshell statement last month that hed warned Francis in 2013 about McCarrick, a former archbishop of Washington, D.C., who had for years been dogged by rumors of sexual abuse of both minors and seminarians. More than two dozen other current and former Vatican officials also covered up for McCarrick, Viganò alleged.

I could see a day or two (or even three) to get all the relevant documentation together, so, when one presented one’s side, one could provide documentation.
But it’s two-and-a-half weeks. It’ll be three or four weeks to see a response. That’s shredder time, story-rehearsal time, lawyering time, PR time, time to test different possible spins on multiple focus groups. Anything but truth time.
And the undermining of doctrine on sexual morality is the only thing that most post-Vatican II "Catholics" care about. They do not see nor care to see the undermining of doctrine that has been happening these last 50+ years.
Nine queer cardinals that tell Bergoglio when to go to the bathroom will respond to the Vigano allegations about Bergoglio knowing about the super predator queer McCarrick. Nothing to see here. Move along.
