The president of the US bishops Cardinal Daniel DiNardo requested a papal audience to discuss the homosexual abuses of Cardinal McCarrick but received no answer, EWTN journalist Anna Mitchell wrote on Twitter (September 7).
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.

If DiNardo persists in his signaled resistance to Francis and support of Vigano, it could be quite significant. For Francis to substantially alienate the USCCB could have world-church-shaking consequences.
It is well-known that Francis preferred Cupich over DiNardo to be head of the USCCB, and the very fact that DiNardo got elected was a glimmer of hope.
Even though he's the guy who forced the faithful Fr. Tom Weinandy's resignation as USCCB doctrine head.... well, pray for him.
Watch this: four minutes, just watch it. It's CNN. Everybody knows. How can he keep on lying like this?

Wuerl and Francis BOTH need to resign. And a whole lot more.
