Anybody who bothers to slog through the Vatican’s mountainous report on the McCarrick scandal will not emerge from the experience enlightened. The report’s revelations, to the extent they exist, are inadvertent. The chief one, evident in the feckless epistolary back-and-forth documented in the report, is that McCarrick would remain an honored cardinal to this day were it not for credible accusations against him involving underage teens. Take those charges away, and he would still be popping up at the Vatican for meetings with the pope. That McCarrick had corrupted countless seminarians and priests by pressuring them into his bed simply didn’t shock churchmen, whose standards seemed considerably lower than those of the pagan world.
Well aware of McCarrick’s louche reputation, Pope Francis joked about it, according to previous reports, once jovially attributing McCarrick’s longevity to the devil not having his “accommodations ready” yet. McCarrick’s victims didn’t find his deranged sex addiction amusing and tried to alert churchmen to it. But they didn’t want to listen. Cardinal Donald Wuerl, who succeeded McCarrick in Washington, D.C., was told directly about McCarrick’s abuse by one of his victims, around 14 years before the scandal broke. Wuerl says that he “forgot” about the exchange. Despite this pathological lie, Wuerl is given a chance in the report to tell more of them. He repeats his denials of any knowledge of McCarrick’s misconduct and even portrays himself as an innocent in the belabored, pathetically pussyfooting discussions about McCarrick’s retirement.

RCINC is the oldest most profitable multinational corporation on the planet.
Oh, really?
What's its ticker symbol and on which exchange is it listed?
So who was running the seminary at Seton Hall and who ran it for years. Maybe someone could ask him about all of this. He would know. Wasn’t he a ‘nephew’ of McCarrick?
RCINC can coerce money from parishioners to pay 900$/hr lawyers to smear and defame individuals molested by their employees
You tell the truth about as well as Joe Biden.
Seen it been part of it - deposition for grammar school classmate who was molested- RC INC pleads poverty but can afford to hire 900$/hr lawyers to smear an individual whose life was ruined by a pedophile priest-
Now I’m convinced you’re making stuff up as you go along.
What was the name of the grammar school?
What year did it happen"
Who was the accused representative of RC INC?
A Francis apologist I see-
Here is list; as far as I go. The pedophile I refer to is on this list=
RC INC through diocese of Rockville Center, fought tooth and nail to put a statute of limitations in,ignore complaints, and in many cases worked to smear parishioner making accusation

There are 5-10x more cases out there in this specific diocese; For example reference to sealed court records from 1976.
Incident from 1970 - female 7th grade student left abruptly (gave birth and surrendered child for adoption) and suddenly Father L. was transferred out of parish, on “mission work” far away. Diocese fought for years and eventually settled with premise of NDA- That was 1970, settling in 1976- a different time.
Funny how the diocese serving the spiritual needs of the 33rd and 84th most wealthy counties declared bankruptcy- The land on many of those under utilized churches and shuttered schools- is worth hundred of millions
All on Free Republic are awaiting your impassioned defense of these pedophiles-
Now I'm convinced you're full of it.
In October of this year you were claiming the Catholic Church was paying lawyers $500/hr:
Yet a month later you've given those same lawyers an 80% raise to $900/hr:
The problem with pathological liars, like Joe Biden, is that they tell so many lies they can't keep them consistent.
I don't believe a word Biden speaks, nor a word you speak.
Blind to the corruption around you- Still havent answered the question of how you can support an organization that protect pedophiles unless you are one of the enablers of said pedophiles.
Done with you douchebag-
Can’t speak the truth in one post can you?
As I said, you make Slo Jo appear to be an honest man.
