Pope Francis said Sunday that he will not comment on claims by a former Vatican ambassador to the U.S. that the Pope knew about allegations against Archbishop Theodore McCarrick and reinstated him in ministry. The Pope said people should make up their own minds about the claims.
Asked whether it was true that Archbishop Carlo Viganò, the statement’s author, had informed him in 2013 about Archbishop McCarrick’s alleged sexual misconduct with priests and seminarians, and if it was true Benedict XVI had previously imposed sanctions on the former cardinal, the Pope said he was distracted by the previous question and would have preferred to talk about the trip.
“I read the statement this morning, and I must tell you sincerely that, I must say this, to you and all those who are interested: Read the statement carefully and make your own judgment,” he answered. “I will not say a single word on this.”

Do they impeach or poison Popes ?
Explains his love for islam
How about two words: “I resign”.
The Lord has been known to split intestines of bad guys. etc. I think this calls for pitchforks and torches in the Vatican piazza and a howling mob.
Figures!
He will by God talk on a federal subpoena!!
He doesn’t have to. He’s already bent over for it all and we can see it.
“I will not say a single word on this.” That was the problem to begin with.
Good job, college of cardinals, voting in an an Argentine leftist as pope. Really working out well for ya /s
They use a silver hammer to bop a pope to make sure he’s dead.
In’t that the problem? Silence from the powers that be?
> Do they impeach or poison Popes ? <
Impeach, no. A pope rules for life. Poison...well, only as a last resort.
I’m thinking poison is the time honored tradition.
So, NCReporter is saying that bergoglio dismissed the charges by his refusal to answer. But, obviously, not everyone has drawn the same conclusion, LOL.
Actually I think in Latin that it would be just one word - relinquo.
The former isn’t a possibility.
Are his supporters saying anything about this evasiveness?
Since he’s a head of state, I don’t think they can subpoena him.
