Cardinal Marc Ouellet replied on October 7 with an "Open Letter" to Archbishop Viganò who asked him in September to “bear witness to the truth” regarding the McCarrick case. But Ouellet now preferred to bear witness to his unconditional allegiance to Pope Francis' shortfalls.
Ouellet calls Viganò’s statements “incomprehensible and extremely reprehensible” because they “seriously affect the reputation of the Successors of the Apostles”.
He disputes “very much” that Francis was interested when Viganò spoke to him in June 2013 about the McCarrick case because - so Ouellet - McCarrick was already 82 years old and Francis was allegedly overwhelmed by the amount of information he received from other nuncios he met the same day.
Ouellet admits that as a Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops he has never brought up the McCarrick case to Francis until these recent days.
Further he disputes Viganò's statement that McCarrick was ever “sanctioned” by Benedict XVI [but this is a play on words], …More

How does it happen that Pope Francis (who defiantly stated in 2013 'who am I to judge?'), and the predator McCarrick are now the victims...while Vigano becomes the 'evil one?' "Woe to you who call what is good, bad.'

Archbishop Vigano spoke the truth. We proceed from there.

Anyone who is a Pope, Cardinal or Bishop in the Catholic Church must have veracity and integrity utterly beyond question. Why we as laity- and other prelates - have tolerated the pastoral and doctrinal lies and deception is the most significant problem that must be dealt with....and until we do, we only sink deeper.

Ouellet's letter seems to confirm what it ostensibly tries to deny - that McCarrick was under sanctions, and that Vigano's account is substantially correct.

This doesn’t really make anyone look any better

Ouellet writes this response from evidently wounded pride, a man exposed as an empty suit or rather cassock, de-facto superceded by two FrancisHomos who pass recommendations directly to their Darling Leader.

These people refuse to think thing, they prefer emotions and feelings because emotions and feelings cannot be challenged.

This is just sentimental, Ouellet to Vigano: "How can you celebrate the Holy Eucharist and pronounce [Francis'] name in the canon of the Mass? How can you pray the holy Rosary ... condemning him whom the Lord protects and accompanies every day in his heavy and courageous ministry?"

This goes against Benedict. According to Ouellet, McCarrick was "strongly urged not to travel, nor to appear in public, in order not to provoke further rumours about him. It is false to present measures taken against him as "sanctions" decreed by Pope Benedict XVI and annulled by Pope Francis"

There is no explicit denial that Francis knew about McCarrick years ago.
