Bizarre Information in the McCarrick Report

The November 10 McCarrick report contains in side- and footnotes the following assessments:

• When McCarrick was considered to become a bishop, a recommendation said: “Monsignor McCarrick would not be a cause of scandal of any kind.”

• In the early 1980s, McCarrick’s rising profile drew the attention of the FBI and the KGB. A KGB agent tried to befriend him but the FBI asked him to serve as a counterintelligence asset. McCarrick declined, but the FBI persisted. McCarrick asked Nuncio Laghi who said that McCarrick should “not be negative” about the proposal. It is unclear whether McCarrick accepted it.

• Speaking about episcopal nominations, then Newark Archbishop McCarrick said at a January 1990 dinner, “I deserve New York!”

• New York Cardinal O’Connor, who opposed McCarrick’s nomination to Washington, joked at a public event, “Archbishop McCarrick is here, so sew up your pockets.”

• McCarrick told Susan Gibbs, the Washington Archdiocese communications director, in 2002 about sharing his bed with seminarians: “I’m the Archbishop so nothing is going to happen."

• The report speaks more than 300 times about “Viganò” but uses the word “homosexual” only 11 times. Once a footnote explains that “’Queenie’ is a slang term, sometimes used derisively to refer to a homosexual man.”

Change to make it more homosexual-friendly. Check.

I don't want to go all Russia, Russia, Russia on this, but it's interesting. The NKVD/KGB were notorious for recruiting homosexuals (e.g. the Kim Philby network), as they were considered the ideal recruits: treacherous, duplicitous and blackmail-able. They likely identified Uncle Ted as someone they could work with. Wonder if there's more... a lot more... to this story. What WAS the source of all the cash Teddy handed out?

The FBI was also probably aware of McCarrick’s proclivities while the Vatican to this day claims ignorance.

Not believable.

I’m not Catholic, although I have Catholic grandchildren. I believe the Lavender Mafia and the current leadership in the church is a tremendous unseen elephant in the room. God help the church, the current leadership is not!

Not ruling out other skulduggery of the fascinating spy-vs-spy sort, but McCarrick was publicly famous as a guy who assidulously cultivated millionaires and billionaires. He courted them.

He also was known to roam around the Termini with fat envelopes full of high-denomination euros, handing them out to arriving clerics and, as the Gospel (Luke 16:9) says about the unjust steward, making friends for himself with his filthy mammon.
