‘My first thought was about the people that he [McCarrick] had hurt,’ said Cardinal Wilton Gregory, who emphasized that the Church’s primary concern should be caring for victims.
A new civil sex-abuse lawsuit has been filed against the former cardinal, also naming an Opus Dei priest who is currently a pastor in the Archdiocese of New York.
On Thursday, a lawsuit was filed in a New Jersey court accusing McCarrick of sexually abusing a 12-year-old boy in 1986.
EDITORIAL: Two years after the former cardinal’s sexual predilections were revealed, the Vatican still hasn’t released its report.
The scandal has led to Theodore McCarrick’s laicization and Vatican norms designed to hold bishops accountable, but investigations into an alleged cover-up continue.
EDITORIAL: With many of the leading questions still unaddressed, it’s more urgent than ever that U.S. Catholics get the answers they need and deserve.
