The former pope "remembers instructing Cardinal Bertone to impose measures but cannot recall their exact nature.”
In an August 22 statement, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, a former nuncio in Washington, had revealed that Benedict XVI [secretly] imposed sanctions against McCarrick in 2009 or 2010.
The sanctions were later reversed by Pope Francis although he was well informed about the allegations against McCarrick.
