Theodore McCarrick, a former D.C. archbishop and cardinal who was defrocked this year amid allegations that he sexually abused two minors and sexually harassed seminarians, is facing new accusations that he abused at least seven boys from about 1970 until 1990, according to three sources, including a person with direct knowledge of the claims U.S. church officials sent to the Vatican in January.

In addition, six allegations of sexual abuse by seminarians and former seminarians also were sent to Rome, according to this last person.

In an interview, an accuser told The Washington Post that many of the boys knew one another. They often would travel together with McCarrick on fundraising trips to churches and the homes of donors nationwide, where the abuse allegedly would occur. The accuser and his family met McCarrick at a church function when the man was a young child.

As adults, some would speak about their alleged abuse to one another in the barest of terms.

It wasn’t until late last year, however, after allegations involving two other boys became public, that the man said he and other accusers contacted officials. The Washington Post does not identify victims of sexual assault or abuse without their permission.

Get ye a copy of the movie "Spotlight" , which chronicles the Boston Globe's journalistic team uncovering a massive cover up of pedophile priests in 2002. That was when you had JOURNALISTS working and did a first-rate job of digging up the facts.

Shows you haw far the Media has deteriorated.

Telling it to the modern Vatican is like “speaking to the hand”.

At the time the Church was a threat to the Left’s agenda. Today any wrong doing, child molesting or offensive behavior by gays is ignored by the press. Did any “investigative journalist” examine Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton’s homosexual practices?

Point taken. Those journalists would have had a field day with the Clintons and obamas - if they were allowed.

Vatican has at least a dozen more allegations of boys and seminarians sexually abused by McCarrick

It’s far past time for putting up with this bullshit. Those people need to be rounded up and thrown in prison immediately.
