Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, appointed prefect of Congregation for Bishops a little over two months before Archbishop Theodore McCarrick was appointed to Washington D.C., has so far been unwilling to speak to the press about Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò’s testimony.

He joins many other cardinals and Vatican officials unwilling to speak to the media on this issue, despite Pope Francis call on journalists to investigate the allegations made in the testimony.

“The Vatican is shut as hard and as tight as an unshucked oyster,” said the American columnist and author Rod Dreher.

The Vatican doesn’t need to cooperate with the media. Most of the media are cooperating just fine with the Vatican.

“The Vatican is shut as hard and as tight as an unshucked oyster,”

You open an ouster by sticking a knife in it and twisting.

His Humbleness, the Francis:

  1. "I will not say one word."

  2. "You journalists go figure it out."

  3. No, nobody's going to give you an intervew.

  4. And the archives are closed.

The Vatican is the pope. He is responsible for this. He is unfit to be pope.

They just want it to go away. "Say nothing and let it die" is the policy. This is not the behavior of men who seriously want to get at the truth behind the McCarrick scandal

This is de facto confirmation that Vigano was right.
