From top: Theodore McCarrick, the former archbishop of Washington DC, stripped off his rank as cardinal and ordered him to live in seclusion; Australian Archbishop Philip Wilson, the most senior Catholic cleric to have been found guilty of concealing child sex abuse.
The Vatican has announced the resignation of the Australian Archbishop Philip Wilson, the most senior Catholic cleric to have been found guilty of concealing child sex abuse….
….The resignation came two days after the Vatican announced that the pope had stripped Theodore McCarrick, the former archbishop of Washington DC, of his rank as cardinal and ordered him to live in seclusion.

Same as it ever was. Colm O’Gorman has a series of tweets in relation to the last papal visit. While Francis might not be as complicit in the coverup and protection of clerical rapists and abusers, he’s not the New Broom his PR suggests he is.
he accepted the criminal’s resignation
surely that’s enough
The Vaticanal “waggy finger”. Will they let him live in seclusion in the Vatican with the rest of the secluded?
Too little, too late.
…what about the wounded healer…oops…this is Ireland so he has immunity…
Politicians and former politicians who have been exposed should be stripped of their oireachtas pensions and ordered to live in seclusion i.e. no photo-ops or appearances on television.
An eminently sensible and just suggestion, Gabby.
if they were in any way genuine they would “order” those abusers to hand themselves over to the police and to fully cooperate with any investigation & fully commit to funding any damages granted to victims. Absolutely rotten to the core
Sure didn’t they go to confession and say a few hail Mary’s. Aren’t they grand.
Need a can of this:
