Bernardin was implicated along with McCarrick. THAT is why this result has occurred. Can't stop a civil suit, and don't underestimate the victim and his legal counsel. You hear me, Mcarrick? Bernardin's estate will pay, and you.
"This is not surprising since such allegations are designed to extract easy money from the Church." This is b.s. In 99.9% of the cases, the victim seeks compensation for the sin and wrong and mental strees done to them by pervert homo radical liberal apostate priests, not just to " extract easy money" for the Church.
If something like that happened to me, and it almost did when I was in highschool...by an Augustinian priest (not the usual Jesuit), I would seek to sue the Church/Augustinian Order as well.
It does not say much for JPII that he was a friend of McCarrick and raised him to Cardinal. In fact, JPII appointed nearly ALL the bishops who later had pervert sexual abuse accusations labeled against them, and many of his appointees were homos.....McCarrick, Wuerl, Gregory, Bernardin...to name but a few.
