Mitchell said that the request was received by the Papal Household on August 20. According to Rocco Palmo, DiNardo even asked for an audience as early as July but received no answer.
Instead, Pope Francis received the two pro-gay Cardinals Donald Wurl from Washington on September 6 and Blase Cupich from Chicago. Both are implicated into the McCarrick scandal by the testimony of whistle-blower Archbishop Carlo Viganò.
Francis has a history of ignoring the cardinals who are supposed to be his closest collaborators. In order to meet Francis, the former Hong Kong Cardinal Joseph Zen, 86, needed to attend a Wednesday General Audience where Francis could not avoid him.
