Avoid the truth at all costs. The journalists have a party line and are spewing it broadly and consistently. McCarrick is the fall guy. It could be any of thousands of priests/bishops. The issue is not sex abuse. It IS homosexuality. The Catholic hierarchy and the media are simply continuing their usual Commandment: cover for the gays.
If McCarrick is the fall guy, I’d hate to imagine who is being covered. It recalls the joke about the Italian cop who pulls over a limo and finds the Pope driving.
