What the blazes is going on here! They seem to not even care that they could get caught. I'm glad Cardinal Cupich suspended his faculties and removed him from ministry but is this the same as being defrocked? Is he still being paid by the diocese?
I think the crux of the matter and what we must keep focused on is that Cardinal Cupich should not have referred to the question of Papal knowledge of McCarrick as going down a rabbit hole and suggesting that climate problems are more important than the serious sins involved in the whole affair. He needs to deal with that error of judgment. He needs to apologise to victims for his irrational remarks and join his fellow Bishops in demanding that, what appear to me, credible allegations regarding Papal knowledge of the McCarrick affair is properly investigated for everyone's sake.
