And once the accusation is made, how could the case be defended? No witnesses, no memories, few records.... Statutes of limitation exist for a reason but were eliminated in these cases for political reasons. A cash cow for the plaintiffs bar, especially when the defendant is a known scoundrel like McCarrick. Of course, it is the Church’s own fault for harboring and facilitating so many homosexuals. Yet, it is not the “Church” who pays but the generations of believers whose donations funded the assets that will pay the settlements. Meanwhile, Pope Francis fiddles.
We all know about McCarrick... for years. Father Michael? That shocks me. Why the hold up?
