The “review board” of New York Archdiocese investigated the accusations and called them “credible and substantiated”.
Cardinal McCarrick is maintaining his innocence, “I have absolutely no recollection of this reported abuse, and believe in my innocence.”
McCarrick is “sad” that the allegation were found credible but accepted the decision of the Holy See.

Is it any wonder why the "New Church" keeps losing members? It's like asking a sex offender to watch your kids while out on the town.

We will soon be hearing a lot about all the young Catholic men befriended by "Uncle Ted" McCarrick, and taken under Uncle Ted's wing, especially when he was a mere fundraising monsignor needing summertime travel companions.

And I'd like to know why The New York Times, in 2012, had on the record accusations against Uncle Ted, by one of his (adult) victims, but killed the story. Why were they protecting the cardinal?

Another nail in the coffin of the neo con Church. Has not worked. Is not working. Never will work.

When Scottish Cardinal O'Brien was accused of improper sexual relationships in 2013, he was allowed to resign at the traditional age of 75. Two years later he renounced all "duties and privileges" of being a cardinal but was never barred from ministry.

He was also Lying Ted for misrepresenting Cardinal Ratzinger's letter to the US bishops.
When the DC archdiocese opened up, the obvious choice was Abp Rigali, then in St Louis, who was a trained diplomat and former rector of the Vatican School of Diplomacy. Instead, McCarrick's buddies got him the job.More
