Pope in hot water, these are very serious allegations by a senior member of the Catholic Church http://jrnl.ie/4202177
A former ambassador to the Vatican has accused Pope Francis of ignoring sexual abuse claims against prominent US cardinal Theodore McCarrick, who was forced to resign last month.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano said that he had told Francis, who is currently visiting Ireland, of the allegations in 2013, but that the pontiff instead lifted sanctions imposed on McCarrick by predecessor Pope Benedict.
Vigano's eleven-page letter was published simultaneously on Saturday in several conservative Catholic publications in the US.

Am in total shock by this letter. Amazing. He accused francis of removing the sanctions from McCarrick that Benedict had put in place. He also released info that he had taken as many as 5 seminarians into his bed at one time. Sometimes serving communion afterwards. A Holy Sacrilege. Evil.

I'm thrilled, he's visiting Ireland at the moment and it's cast a huge shadow over an already controversial event. He truly is the Obama of popes, no substance whatsoever

Those Irish Catholics will be fit tone tied when they see this letter after the Tuam stir up again. Tar & Feather is too good.
