Ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick — the former archbishop of Washington, DC, who was kicked out of the priesthood over sex abuse allegations — has been charged with molesting a teenage boy in Massachusetts in the 1970s.
The charges filed Wednesday make McCarrick, 91, the highest-ranking Roman Catholic official in the US to face criminal raps in the clergy sex abuse scandal, according to the Boston Globe.
The predatory priest is accused of groping a 16-year-old boy’s genitals on June 8, 1974, during the wedding reception of the teen’s brother at Wellesley College.
McCarrick allegedly told the boy that he “needed to go to confession” and led him into a room, where he proceeded to assault him while “saying prayers to make me feel holy,” the teen told police.
The investigation into McCarrick began in January after the alleged victim’s attorney, Mitchell Garabedian, wrote letters to the Norfolk and Middlesex district attorneys.

You won’t be admonished. He wants truth above all’s else. Read 2 Timothy 2:15. It will forever put you at peace.

My fault . . . I left off the wink ;
Oh you’ve heard of it. I just spell it with an “e” instead of a “u”.
Simply because there is no “u” in pergatory. There are no “u”s in pergatory. “U” cannot be sent there. And “U” cannot be prayed or paid out of something that doesn’t exist.
Paul was a Catholic leader and did not establish a church.
Please provide documentation that your church was founded in 63AD. Your assertion is not plausible.
In fact, you should read 1 Corinthians 1: 10- 17 that Paul came to preach Christ’s gospels, as Paul was not crucified for you.
Nice try.
There’s no “u” in Heaven. Think about that.
Lol. Read Romans through Philemon, Paul’s epistles
Then get back to me.
My first trepidation is that you actually say Paul did not establish a church. Instead of coming to me about this, why aren’t you searching God’s scriptures to see if these things I’m showing you are truth.
Paul was Not a catholic leader, unless you can prove that with scripture.
You cannot even carry on a serious, substanant conversation with anything meaningful resulting from that conversation.
Heaven actually DOES exist,so the joke doesn’t fit like they fit for pergatory. Nice try,really
I don’t understand your reply. Christ said: And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And at a later time, He consecrated His Bishops.
I do not see the problem here....
I read: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
I do not understand why you use this verse to counter what I wrote about the fact that the Catholic Church was started by Christ?
When I was a seminarian, I was introduced to McCarrick in the sacristy of the Shrine in DC - this was 45 years ago.
I shook his hand and immediately felt creeped out. I sensed that he was an evil man.
You make assertions that you do not back up and you do not respond with any meaningful information.
When you understand that Jesus founded only the Catholic Church and not multiple protestant religions you might be open to God’s Word and not false beliefs.
You can thank the Catholic Church that you even have a Bible with the written inspired Word of God that was passed down verbally by the true Catholic followers of Christ.
So you believe that St Paul established his own church, yet you provide no evidence to support your assertion?
Your quote “My church was established about it 63 A.D. By Paul. From direct revelation of Jesus Christ, Who gave to Paul the dispensation of the Grace of God and the building of the Church the Body of Christ.”
Good answer.
Not being argumentive but, can you tell me antwhere in the Bible where Jesus uttered the words “Catholic Church”.
I will pray for you.
Wow! I had never seen that.
Really...you are comparing the lord savior to all Preists ....does that go for the ones convicted of child molestation also!!!!
I will pray for you.
And I will pray for you and for everyone in your church.
Given that Communist atheists got real good at genociding other Communist atheists in the last 100 years, you best be kissing some Abrahamic ass. Pucker up, buttercup.
How about C:
John Paul was somewhat naive
John Paul came from a world where authorities often tried to tear the Church apart through vicious lies and half- ans quarter-truths
John Paul’s courtiers lied to him often and shamelessly
John Paul had a difficult time believing priests could sink this low (I know I once did)
And myriad other factors.
