Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, Abuse, and Fear.

As bad as Cardinal McCarrick was, it’s the way the powerful in the Church suppress justice and Truth that is so shocking.  He corrupted many men that he never touched.   It’s very difficult to clean up the mess when everyone is in on it, good or bad.  The fear in the clergy is crippling.  When you read these two articles pay attention to how the “good” men behaved and how afraid they were.  Even newspaper reporters had a hard time breaking the code of silence.   In the end the truth comes out anyway, it just takes a lot more reputations and lives with it.
