"The narrative fails to say ... that we have got a systemic problem here. First of all the report was done by the Vatican Secretary of State. This is the very organization which promoted Cardinal McCarrick all through the ranks," said Robert Mickens, editor of La Croix International.
"One of the big problems in this Church is that no one wants to believe anybody who accuses a bishop. They close ranks," Mickens continued. "This is the problem. It's the clericalism that Pope Francis denounces continuously but because of his own background and upbringing and his age, he's trapped in it himself, even as he tries to unwedge himself from that."
