Is this the Vatican's Answer to the Viganò Statement?
The Vatican press office published a verbose October 6 statement regarding the McCarrick case.
It claims that the New York Archdiocese notified the Holy See in September 2017 about accusations against McCarrick dating back to the 1970s. [But in the U.S., everyone's claim is that nothing was understood before June 2018.]
The investigation started only after the tip from New York. Its results will be made public.
The statement acknowledges “that choices were taken that would not be consistent with a contemporary approach to such issues”.
But it does not answer the main question brought up by Archbishop Viganò according to which very many knew for decades that McCarrick was a gay abuser and Francis was told about it by Viganò in June 2013.
Nevertheless, Francis rehabilitated the ultraliberal McCarrick and made him a councilor and kingmaker of bishops.
